Making Butternut Squash Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Roast the Squash: Toss the butternut squash cubes in olive oil. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
3. Cook the Pasta: While the squash is roasting, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Blend the Sauce: In a blender, combine the roasted butternut squash, sautéed onions and garlic, broth, and heavy cream. Blend until you achieve a smooth sauce.
6. Combine: Pour the blended sauce into the pan. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast) and season with salt and pepper. Let it cook for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
7. Mix with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
8. Serve Warm: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.

Following these steps, you’ll create a delicious and visually stunning dish that embodies the essence of fall!
