butternut squash & brown butter sage pasta

Who needs alfredo or vodka sauce when you can make a creamy butternut squash pasta sauce! It's as easy as roasting the vegetables in the oven, pureeing vegetables in a blender, and pouring them over some spaghetti. The brown butter and sage mixed with coconut cream gives this sauce a rich, delicious flavor.


Hope you enjoy! xo
