Instructions

1. Melt butter in a large sauté pan. Add onion and sauté about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté another minute.
2. Add butternut squash and veggie or chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper and cover until squash is tender, about 7 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Make sure to reserve about 1/2 cup pasta water at the end.
4. Once squash is tender, transfer it to a blender and add unsweetened nut milk. Place the lid on, keeping the cap slightly open to let some steam escape. Blend on low until completely smooth.
5. Pour blended squash back into a pan over low heat, then add the freshly grated cheese. (This will melt much better than the packages of cheese that are pre-shredded.) Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
6. Pour as much sauce as you’d like over the pasta, adding the reserved pasta water if needed to thin it out. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Divvy up into bowls and devour!
