Pasta with Butternut Squash Sauce (Fast 🎉 Kid Friendly 🎉🎉)

This recipe hails from Gourmet magazine November 2006. It's a simple recipe, but very tasty, one truly adored by children and adults alike. Butternut squash is known for making silky smooth soups, so it's no surprise it can also act like a silky smooth sauce. There's a subtle hint of sage here, always a nice match for squash, and a slight richness thanks to a little butter, but this can easily be made vegan or dairy-free if necessary. See notes in recipe:

👍. Simple and delicious. Did not have fresh sage, subbed with dried. Also, added dried thyme, rosemary and couple handfuls of cashews. Thank you for sharing.

Hi! This looks amazing! Can you please explain how you utilize the pasta water, especially when it comes to reheating the pasta? Thank you so much!

[@tenthousanddaysofgratitude]

Pasta water makes it more saucy. The starch in pasta water helps make it come together as a sauce. I use it when I cook tomatoes with pasta as well. I’m not sure about how to use it when reheating pasta but you can try adding a bit to see if it makes the reheated pasta more saucy and less claggy.
