Remove the seeds from the butternut squash with a spoon.
Score the butternut squash with a knife.
Season the butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then bake for one hour at 370°F/190°C.

FAQ ❓

Can you make this pasta with other vegetables?

Absolutely! You can replace the butternut squash with vegetables such as sweet potatoes, carrots, or even broccoli. Just be sure to drain your vegetables well to avoid excess moisture in the dough.

What sauce goes best with this pasta?

This pasta pairs wonderfully with a simple drizzle of olive oil and grated Parmesan, or brown butter. For added flavor, you can also opt for a creamy sauce, homemade pesto, or even tomato sauce.

Can you make this pasta in other shapes?

Of course! Turn the dough into gnocchi by rolling it into ropes and cutting them into small pieces. Cook until they float to the surface. You can also use a pasta machine to make tagliatelle, ravioli, or lasagna sheets. Make sure the dough is well floured to prevent it from sticking.

How do I store this fresh butternut squash pasta?

If you're not using it immediately, store the pasta in an airtight container in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours. You can also freeze it: arrange the pasta in a single layer on a floured baking sheet, let it firm up in the freezer, then transfer it to a freezer bag.
