Fall Food Bliss: Caramelized Onion & Butternut Squash Pasta

Fall Comfort Food: Caramelized Onion and Butternut Squash Pasta

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings together the sweetness of caramelized onions with the savory richness of butternut squash in a cozy pasta dish perfect for the fall season.

Ingredients:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon

For this recipe, you’ll need:

• 300g butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 250g pasta of your choice
• 1/2 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

While the onions are caramelizing, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Once the onions are caramelized, add the cubed butternut squash to the skillet. Cook until the squash is tender, about 10-15 minutes. Add vegetable broth to the skillet and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and coats the vegetables.

Finally, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Final Touches:

This Caramelized Onion and Butternut Squash Pasta weighs approximately 1200g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is about 300g, and it’s estimated to be around 400 calories per serving.

For an extra burst of flavor, try grating some Parmesan cheese over the pasta before serving. The salty richness of Parmesan complements the sweetness of the caramelized onions and butternut squash beautifully.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this comforting fall pasta dish. Feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices to make it your own!
