Recipe: Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

My sister made the most delicious Butternut Squash pasta for me. I've adapted the recipe and wanted to share it here:

Ingredients

• 1 lb butternut squash, peeled and diced
• 1 tbsp butter
• protein of your choice ( I recommend using spicy sausage or meatballs)
• 1/4 onion, minced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cups of baby spinach
• parmesan cheese
• sliced American cheese
• heavy cream or milk
• pasta

1. Start by steaming the butternut squash

2. Blend the butternut squash with a splash of heavy cream or milk

3. Sauté minced onions and garlic in butter and oil until slightly browned

4. Add pureed butternut squash to the pan and mix

5. Cook the protein of your choice in the sauce

6. Add parmesan cheese and sliced American cheese to taste

7. While bubbling, add baby spinach

8. Prepare pasta of your choice and add to the saucepan when ready!
