    Ingredients
     

    • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cut into cubes
    • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
    • ¼ cup of grated onion
    • 2 garlic cloves minced
    • Salt and pepper

    I made this Pasta with Butternut Squash dish the other night for dinner. It was delicious and super easy to make. The butternut squash sauce is creamy, sweet and a little spicy. It was just perfect.

    Buen provecho!

      I am sitting here, at this very moment, eating this fantastic dish! I love butternut squash just about any way you can think of to prepare it...and for years my standard Christmas day fare has included a butternut squash dish of about the consistency of mashed potatoes, made with cream, butter, rum and some spices. THIS dish is so outstanding that I am going to serve it this Christmas in place of my usual butternut squash preparation. Thanks!

      Wow I bet the silky texture of butternut and the kick of the red pepper flake would make this taste so great.
