You can make this pasta dish vegan or non-vegan and it is truly the BEST fall comfort food. There are so many variations of this recipe out there so this is my take on it!
INGREDIENTS:
Pasta of choice (I like rotini for this)
4 cups cubed butternut squash
2 cloves garlic
3 tbsp butter of choice (can be vegan)
4 tbsp olive oil
Fresh sage
Salt and pepper
Pine nuts (optional)
Cheese of choice
DIRECTIONS:
Sauté chopped garlic and butternut squash over low heat, covered for about 15 minutes or until squash is soft
Separately, cook pasta and make sure you save 1/2 cup pasta water
Add butter and sage; sauté over medium heat until the butter browns a bit
Add pasta water and continue to simmer until sauce thickens
Add salt and pepper to taste
Remove, add pasta and toppings and enjoy!
