Ingredients

  • Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees

  • Coat the faces of the butternut squash (the flesh parts) with coconut oil
  • Roast the butternut squash face up until soft (takes 45-60 minutes)
  • Once your butternut squash is soft, remove from heat, take out the seeds, and flip over on the pan
  • Let the flipped butternut squash to cool for 5-10 minutes (otherwise it will be to hot to work with)
  • Once your butternut squash has cooled enough that you can work with it, peel of the skins (the should just pull right off)
  • After removing the skins, place the roasted butternut squash in a blender with the spices and coconut milk (I used this coconut milk, it can be found at whole foods)
  • Blend the Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce ingredients until smooth and well-combined
  • Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days
  • When ready to use, just heat up on the stove top and mix in with cooked pasta (bonus if you add in some veggies like broccoli or cauliflower!)
