Butternut Sage pasta is truly one to add to your Fall and Winter dinner rotation!

Butternut squash with sage is one of my favorite combinations. I might (ok, I do) have a slight addiction to butternut squash. Fresh sage has an unforgettable scent, flavor, and oh, how I love that color. The butternut gets super sweet and caramelized in this dish, and when you mix in the garlic, olive oil…welp, it will just take you off the deep end!

In this recipe, I do use a wee bit of butter;), but you can always replace some of it with your salty pasta water if you’d like.

Butternut can be pretty hard to peel, so I’ve included a tip below to make that sooooo much easier!

BTW, how gorgeous is the inside butternut? Seriously, it’s a work of nature art;)

How To Easily Peel Butternut

• Butternut can be tough to peel. To make it easy, simply put the whole uncut butternut squash in the microwave for 3 minutes. Let the squash cool to the point where you can hold it, cut the top off, and peel away the skin with ease! Seriously, life-changing for me. Heehee:)

How to store it

• Store your fresh, uncut squash in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight.
