Butternut Squash Pasta & Peas (The New Mac & Cheese)
- 1/2 whole Small Onion, Diced
- 1 whole Medium Butternut Squash, Peeled, Seeds Removed, Cut Into 1/2-inch Cubes
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1/4 cups Chicken Or Vegetable Broth
- 3/4 pounds Your Favorite Pasta
- 1 cup Peas Or Bite Size Chopped Broccoli (optional But Recommended)
- In a large skillet over medium heat, saute onion and squash in olive oil until squash is softened, about 20 minutes.
- Once softened, move to a food processor to puree, adding broth until you reach your desired consistency.
- Puree should be creamy enough to combine easily with pasta.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
- Then drain and put it into a large bowl.
- Prepare peas or broccoli as desired.
- I defrost frozen peas or chop broccoli into bite size pieces and steam to al dente.
- Combine pasta, veggies and squash puree and toss to mix everything together.
