Butternut squash recipes are so good this time of year, and pasta is good any time of year! For this recipe, I'm using a gluten free penne, but any pasta type will do. I've posted similar recipes before but this recipe is new and improved. I used frozen pre-diced butternut squash which cuts the cooking time down by thirty minutes because you don't have to peel, cut, and roast it. Seriously game changing!


This meal requires minimal ingredients and can be made vegan by using dairy-free cream, butter, and cheese or nutritional yeast.
