Butternut Squash Soup Is A Classic, But This Butternut Squash Pasta Recipe Will Blow Your Mind This Fall Season
Butternut squash soup is a staple Autumn comfort food for a reason. The fruit– yes, butternut squash is technically a fruit– has a sweet and nutty flavor that pairs seamlessly with rich cream to give you a warm and decadent meal perfect for any chilly day.
But, butternut squashes and all of their glory do not have to be reserved for just soup. Instead, the fruit can also be used to make an insanely good pasta sauce.
And Jamie Milne, an avid foodie and the mastermind behind @Everything_Delish, recently shared her to-die-for butternut squash pasta recipe.
So, move over soup– it’s time to focus on our new favorite squash meal.

Then, slice the tops off of the garlic bulbs and place them on tin foil.
Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil and some salt on top of the bulbs before wrapping the tin foil tightly around them.
Next, get out a baking sheet and spread out the cubed butternut squash, mushrooms, and fresh rosemary on top.
Don’t forget to add your tin foil-wrapped garlic bulbs, too!
Finally, top all of the veggies with more olive oil, salt, and pepper, and pop the baking sheet into the oven for thirty-five to forty minutes.
Around the twenty-five-minute mark, you should check to see if the mushrooms are cooked. And if they are, you can just set them aside in a bowl until the squash and garlic are done.
Next, cook your pasta of choice according to the box instructions. But don’t forget to save one cup of pasta water before straining!
Afterward, once the butternut squash, garlic, onion, and rosemary are done roasting, add them all to a blender along with the pasta water, cream, and more salt and pepper. However, do not include the mushrooms!
Finally, blend everything together until smooth, and add your cooked pasta to a pot. Then, you can pour your butternut squash sauce all over the top.
And to garnish, you can top each plate of pasta with the roasted mushrooms, black pepper, and parmesan cheese.
Normally, making pasta sauce from scratch can take hours of standing over the stove.
But, this quick and easy recipe takes the pain out of pasta sauce and delivers a meal you will be craving for weeks.
Don’t just take my word for it, though. Chef Jamie shared this recipe on her TikTok account just a few days ago, and it is already receiving rave reviews.
“Oh momma, that looks amazing!!!” commented one user.
“I have made this so many times I love it,” said a second user.
“This is my favorite!” wrote a third.
So, jump on the butternut squash pasta train now before the fruits go out of season. And if you would like to follow along with Jamie as she makes this meal, you can watch her original TikTok here.
