1/2 tablespoon Butter
1 tablespoon Minced Garlic
1 tablespoon Better Than Boullion
Toppings
Chopped Fresh Sage
Chopped Green Onions
Instructions
Prepare your pasta according to package directions
Cook the Butternut Squash
Wash the squash. Cut it in half vertically and remove the seeds.
Section and chop into uniform cubes. Size does not necessarily matter here, but smaller pieces will cook quicker.
Place squash cubes in a stock pot and cover with water.
Salt generously. Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce heat, cooking until the squash is soft enough to smash with a fork.
Drain the squash, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
Transfer to a blender and add bouillon.
Blend until the squash is smooth throughout. If the squash is not moving easily through the blender, add a small amount of the reserved water to thin the sauce.
Set squash puree aside.
Prepare the sauce
Melt butter in a sauce pan and cook until it starts to brown
Add garlic and sage and cook until fragrant. Stir in goat cheese until melted and herbs are combined throughout. Remove from heat.
Add butternut squash puree and stir quickly. Cover and allow it to sit for a few minutes.
Salt sauce as needed.
Combine sauce and pasta. Plate and top with extra sage, remaining goat cheese, and green onions.
