This is a perfect dinner recipe for you to enjoy in the Fall when butternut squash is in season. To make things easier with this recipe you can save time by getting already cut and cubed squash from the store. The sauce comes together easily by steaming the squash for 10-12 minutes on the stovetop with water until completely fork tender. Then we add a few other pantry staples to get the pasta completed in roughly 20 minutes. Here’s what you will need to make it for your family!
