SaveSummary
A fall-inspired comfort food pasta dinner. Perfect for a meatless meal or vegetarian side dish. The vegan butternut squash pasta sauce is rich and creamy, but also low in fat and calories, so it's healthy!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper chili flakes
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 butternut squash (peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2″ chunks)
- 3 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
- 340 g whole grain pasta (cooked in salted water according to package directions (reserve 1 cup of the pasta water). I like to use Farfalle (bow-tie pasta) for this recipe, but Penne also works well.)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish (omit for vegan option))
