Skip all the prep work of making a homemade butternut squash sauce!
Try this Good & Gather jar of butternut squash pasta sauce for an easy shortcut. It’s imported from Italy and is made with cream, sage, and honey. The best part is it’s honestly SO GOOD! I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and quality, and know you will be too.
You could incorporate this sauce into other pastas such as ravioli and gnocchi. I think you could also add broth and use it as a base for a quick butternut squash soup as well.
Tips for making butternut squash pasta:
- I didn’t use the whole pound of pasta and instead used about 12 oz. so it would yield a saucier pasta dish. It’s up to you if you’d like to cook the whole thing and add more.
- Easily turn this into a meal featuring meat by adding cooked bacon or sausage. Grilled chicken would be yummy in here too.
