One of my favorite fall pasta dishes is this Roasted Butternut Squash Garlic Pasta. It’s easy to make, healthy and so satisfying!
Butternut squash is roasted with garlic and onion. Then it’s blended to a smooth sauce and tossed with gluten-free fettuccine noodles! This easy pasta dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner meal! I like to serve it with a protein such as grilled chicken.
