Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce


By Hope For Healing (Visit website)



You know fall by it's smells and flavors. Apple cider a brewing, with countless pots of applesauce a simmering. Not to mention the pumpkins and squash finding room in the baskets and floor space in my kitchen. It's fall. Most people I know here in Michigan enjoy fall and claim it to be the best season of the year. The colors of the leaves are changing and the cool morning air smells of their falling. I do enjoy this season, but it feels like there is not enough time in the day all of a sudden. The sun was setting around 9pm for so long, and now it is 7pm. Which doesn't help because there is so much work this time of year to prepare for winter. I am trying to can and store mounds of apples, peaches and whatever fresh and ready to be frozen vegetable I can find. Yes, it is a busy time. So busy that I haven't been doing alot of cooking, just a lot of canning and winterizing. Except, for squash pasta. It was time. Time to bake some squash and pour it's creamy luscious flavor over some traditional gluten-free pasta. How I love you. So this is the beginning of many more days to enjoy the great taste of sweet and hearty squash. 
First of all, you will need to cut the butternut in half and spoon out the inside seeds and guts. Put on a baking sheet and bake on 350 for about 2 hours. Or until it is soft to slice through with a knife. Let it cool and then peal off the skin. Put 2 small cooked squash meat in the blender or food processor and mix with one can of coconut milk. It will take a few minutes to blend. So add some pure water if you need to loosen it up just a  bit. Then you should have about 4 cups of blended squash and coconut milk.

Butternut Squash Pasta Recipe:
*above (2 small cooked butternut squashes baked and pealed)
*above ( 1 can of pure coconut milk)
1 medium yellow onion
4 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup of fresh diced sage leaves
Fresh thyme, parsley and oregano if you have it...about a TB of each freshly chopped
(if you must, use dried herbs works fine, just cut the amounts in half)
1/4- 1/2 cup of vegetable broth/stock
freshly ground black pepper
sea salt to taste...usualy about 1 ts. or so


The ingredients are that simple. Just saute the onion and garlic for a few minutes and then add the blended squash and coconut milk mixture with the broth and the rest of the fresh herbs. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the color of the sauce has taken a bright orange-yellow color (depending on the color of your original squash). Then at the same time as you are cooking the sauce, put on a pot of boiling water to cook up some gluten-free pasta...Tinkyada is my favorite for sure. It is a pretty popular brand so you should be able to find it at most stores that sell gluten-free foods.  Cook the sauce and then when your noodles are done layer them on a plate and then pour a think spoonful of the sauce over. The top with some pine nuts, freshly cut herbs, or even diced apple if you really want to add some more fall flavor. It is so great and creamy you will think you will be eating dairy cream, but no... just the delicious flavor of the squash. If you are one of those people that cannot stand veggies, or you can't imagine how squash sauce would even taste good on pasta... I dare you to try it. It is so good I share it with friends and they always ask...."What is this?" and I tell them, and they are surprised because they never knew they could like squash so much. So enjoy friends and happy eating to you!
