Roasted butternut squash pasta is an easy fall dinner that is so creamy and comforting. Perfect recipe for vegetarians or meatless Monday. Just roast the butternut squash with onions and garlic then blend up with the remaining ingredients. The sauce even freezes well to enjoy later.

  • 1 small yellow onion, cut into wedges
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
