Edesia's Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce

Submitted by Edesia

"An out-of-the-ordinary pasta sauce recipe I came up with one evening when I was scraping the bottom of the pantry barrel. It's super easy to make if you use canned squash puree like I did. My favorite way to serve it is with gnocchi, but you can use any pasta you like. A nice change from the usual tomato, alfredo, and pesto sauces."

Excellent dish. I had to use up a butternut squash, so roasted it along with some garlic cloves, pureed along with the seasoning, salt and pepper. Served over gnocchi as suggested. Delicious! :)

This is fantastic! Such great flavour from a few simple ingredients. I'll definitely be making this again as we all loved it!
