Description

Embrace the rich, comforting flavors of autumn with this creamy butternut squash pasta sauce, a versatile dish suitable for any occasion. This vibrant orange sauce transforms humble ingredients into a velvety smooth coating for your preferred pasta, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats. The sauce begins with the natural sweetness of butternut squash, enhanced by a delicate blend of aromatic herbs and spices.

As the squash softens, it melds seamlessly with butter and cream, creating a luxurious texture that clings beautifully to every strand of pasta. The result is a harmonious balance of sweet and savory notes, a comforting embrace for your palate. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability.

For a lighter variation, vegetable broth can easily replace chicken broth, offering a subtle shift in flavor while maintaining the sauce's integrity. The recipe also works well for vegans simply by replacing the cream with cashew cream, which gives it a very similar texture to the original. Whether you choose the convenience of frozen squash or the freshness of seasonal produce, this sauce offers a simple and satisfying way to capture the essence of fall.

Its vibrant color and inviting aroma will fill your kitchen, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, allowing you to enjoy a delicious and hassle-free meal whenever you desire. Each bite offers a symphony of flavors and textures, a testament to the simple joys of cooking with seasonal ingredients.

Its creamy texture and comforting taste make it an ideal dish for cozy evenings or festive gatherings. It’s more than just a sauce; it's an experience, inviting you to savor the season's bounty in every spoonful.

Instructions

    1.
    Place frozen, cubed butternut squash into a large saucepan. Add the initial amount of chicken broth, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until squash is fork-tender, absorbing most of the broth. Fresh squash can be used as an alternative.
    2.
    Remove the pot from heat, add the remaining chicken broth, and use an immersion blender to puree the squash until smooth. Blend in heavy cream until a smooth sauce forms. Return to the stove, cover, and heat until bubbling.
    3.
    Reduce heat to prevent splattering. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and chopped basil. Stir in butter, cover, and let bubble until melted and velvety-smooth. Cool slightly before serving.
