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.
