Ingredients
- Fettuccine or penne pasta
- Butternut squash
- Olive oil
- Onion
- Garlic cloves
- Fresh sage leaves
- Vegetable broth
- Cashew cream (or other dairy-free cream)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut butternut squash into bite-sized cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- While the squash cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water before draining.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion in olive oil until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and chopped sage.
- Once the squash is roasted, add it to the skillet along with vegetable broth. Simmer and mash part of the squash into the sauce while leaving some chunks intact.
- Stir in cashew cream for a creamy texture. Combine cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired consistency.
