Notes

Top the finished dish with pine nuts for some added crunch.
Butternut squash has a naturally sweet taste, and you can add to that by swapping the onions for shallots.
You can make these pasta sauce even creamier by stirring through some creme fraiche or cream cheese.
For extra flavour, roast the butternut squash with finely chopped fresh sage. It compliments the butternut squash perfectly.
If you want to keep this vegetarian, make sure to use a vegetarian hard cheese. Most supermarket own brand Italian hard cheese is vegetarian.
