This recipe all started with a dream to create something salty, and savory yet slightly sweet in flavor. Filled with roasted squash, onions, garlic, and herbs and topped with crispy prosciutto, roasted squash seeds, parmesan, and rosemary.
Pasta Sauce:
This pasta sauce is filled to the brim with roasted veggies like butternut squash, acorn squash, yellow onions, and garlic. This recipe makes more than enough servings for multiple batches of pasta. You can even freeze the pasta sauce if you’d like for future use.
Ingredients you will need:
- Squash
- Olive Oil
- Kosher and Sea Salt
- Pepper
- Prosciutto
- Banza Pasta
- Butternut Squash
- Acorn Squash
- Yellow Onion
- Garlic
- Rosemary
- Veggie Broth
- Coconut Milk or Non-Dairy Cream
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Butter
- Parmesan Cheese
How long does everything last?
The Pasta sauce should last in the fridge for about 3 to 5 days in a sealed Tupperware. You can also freeze this recipe for up to a year. I recommend cooking the pasta the day of heating the sauce instead of adding to the sauce – they may end up mushy otherwise.
When should I make this recipe?
This is a great recipe if you want to put some work into a flavorful dinner or if you want to make something healthier but hearty ahead of time.
