onion

sea salt

(3-pound) butternut squash, peeled,

garlic

sage

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the squash and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.

Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant, then add 3 cups of the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend. Season to taste and serve with parsley, pepitas, and crusty bread.

How to make ahead. Many of these fall dinners can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. If not, you can always prep the ingredients in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

How to store: Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Some can stored in the freezer for up to 3 months (most soups and stews!). Check the individual recipe for complete storing instructions and to confirm if the recipe is freezer-friendly.

How to reheat: Leftovers can be reheated on the stovetop over medium to low heat for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, in the air fryer or the oven at 300F for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, or in the microwave in 20-second increments until warmed through (depending on the recipe). If heating from frozen, allow the dish to thaw first and then reheat.

This is such an amazing list of recipes! I have made several and they all have came out great! 
Next up to make is the Apple Dijon Braised Chicken Thighs!

This list has got everything! It was hard to choose but we went with the pasta bake with sausage and LOVED IT!

This is a fabulous list! I have planned my whole week of meals for my family with this list and will be back next week too! I usually get frustrated with these types of recipe list articles having so much of the same things (not grouped, btw) and so few options I know my family will actually eat. But not this one! This article was so helpful and practical. Thanks so much!

This delicious butternut squash pasta is the perfect dinner for fall. Roasted butternut squash mixed with ricotta and vibrant spices makes for a creamy sauce that goes with any type of pasta.

Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

butternut squash

olive oil (extra virgin)

oz pasta (I used linguine)

ricotta

oregano

paprika

tsp kosher salt

tsp black pepper

vegetable stock

thyme

freshly grated parmesan

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Slice the top and bottom of the butternut squash so you can stand it on a cutting board. Then cut it in half. Place each half on the cutting board and peel it. Then cut the butternut squash into 1-inch chunks.

Toss the butternut squash chunks with the olive oil, arrange on the baking sheet in one layer and roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until they are fork tender. Save 10-12 roasted squash chunks for garnish.

While the squash is roasting, cook the pasta according to the packaging. Save 1 cup of pasta water, drain the pasta and set aside.

Place the rest of the roasted butternut squash in a blender or the bowl of a food processor. Add in the ricotta, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic and stock. Blend for a minute or until creamy and smooth.

Pour in the butternut squash pasta sauce into a pan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes. Add in the cooked pasta with 1/2 cup pasta water. Mix using a pair of tongs and ensure that the pasta is coated well with the sauce.

Serve and top with fresh thyme and freshly grated parmesan.

Great combination of flavors! I love butternut squash and this recipe was delicious.

This recipe is delicious and bonus, my kids love it too!
