Warning: This recipe is super yummy, and high in calories. It is full of milk and butter and happiness, but should not be indulged in on a daily basis.

 

Butternut squash recipeFriends, I’ve never been much of a “squash person” until my later, more refined years have set it. And still, there are certain ways it is prepared that I don’t particularly care for. For example, when it tastes like squash.


Ahem.

I have several children and a husband that don’t consider themselves “squash people” either, and loudly declared that they did not like the looks of this dish…

Until they took one bite and fell in love. Score.

*I originally made this recipe as a one pot meal – cooking the sauce and then adding the pasta to the same pot. Sounds great in theory, but penne takes a while to cook, and you can’t. stop. stiring. ever. or your sauce will scorch. So, I recommend preparing the pasta separate and adding it at the end. Just be sure to watch the thickness of your sauce, adding water as needed.
Butternut Squash Alfredo Recipe - Yum!
