How to make Butternut Squash Pasta:

(1) Prepare the ingredients

Peel, deseed and dice the butternut squash into cubes. Peel and finely dice 1 onion and 1-2 cloves of garlic.

(2) Make butternut squash pasta

In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, until translucent.

Then add the pumpkin cubes and mix everything well and fry evenly for 3 – 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.

Then add water or vegetable broth until the pumpkin is covered. Cook over medium-high heat, until the squash softens – about 15 mins.

Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle or pasta of your choice in a pot with salted water. In a frying pan, sauté the sage leaves in melted butter over medium-high heat, until the butter starts to brown and the sage leaves become crispy.

When the squash has softened, remove the pot from the heat and finely blend with a hand/stick blender. Place the sauce back on the stove over medium heat, add 100 ml cream and stir, until everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

(3) Plate the Pasta

Toss the pasta in the sauce, until it is evenly mixed with the pasta. Arrange the pasta on a plate. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and garnish with the crispy sage leaves and drizzle with some brown butter.

Some Recipe Tips:

Storage: Stored in the fridge in an airtight container, the butternut squash sauce will last for up to 3-4 days.
