Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pasta of choice
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they become translucent. Mix in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the cubed butternut squash along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the squash is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until smooth. If you’re using a regular blender, allow it to cool slightly before blending.
- Mix in the heavy cream or coconut milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain it, then combine it with the sauce.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your meal!
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
