September 16, 2014 Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta Skillet

This cozy and creamy butternut squash pasta skillet is a fantastic Fall dinner! With whole wheat pasta, a butternut squash sauce, fresh rosemary and sage, it’s perfect for the season. Vegetarian.

Note: This recipe is NOT dairy free. It was published before Cook Nourish Bliss transitioned to dairy free recipes and remains popular with long time readers. You can try using substitutions to make it dairy free, however I have not tested this myself and can’t say how it will turn out.

Brace yourself. For squashy, orange goodness over the course of the next two months. Or more, we’ll see. Depends on how big of a recipe bender I go on.

I know some people are all about the pumpkin right now but for me? Butternut squash is where. it’s. at.

And today I’m bringing you pasta. Comforting, creamy, cheesy. That’s three C’s of awesome right there.

Oh and there’s butternut squash sauce.

Which helps make it so nice and creamy … and therefore not completely terrible for you at all. Which is good because I’ve consumed a number of filled-to-the-brim bowls.

About This Butternut Squash Pasta Bake

In addition to the squash-y sauce, we have some other veggies and plenty of fresh rosemary and sage. Because they scream fall.

And there’s some cheese. Not a ton ton, but just enough to make you happy. And enough to make you fight your husband for the last portion in the skillet.

Ahem, not that I know anything about that.

Or being super sneaky and hiding some of the leftovers in the back of the fridge where he’ll never look.

But really. Just look at that. Yes. Just yes.
