Cream-less Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

4 Cups
17 min

An extra creamy Butternut Squash Pasta that’s actually cream-less! With sage, nutmeg and bit of crushed pepper, its got the all the fall flavor plus a hint of spice - the perfect Vegan comfort food.


This pasta was so good, but it also made me SO SAD!


Why? Because I was using the one butternut squash I had from last Fall as part of my “weights” when doing squats.


I’ve basically filled up my gym duffel bag with flours, potatoes and what not and use that for squats during my home workouts.

Part of my quarantine home gym, haha.


I still need to go find some alternatives, but that loss was totally worth it.


This pasta is beauty!
