Something magical happens to pasta when you combine spaghetti with a creamy butternut sauce made with leeks, sage, garlic and Parmigiano Reggiano. You’ll swear this is full of cream and butter, but it’s not!



Spaghetti with Butternut Parmesan Sauce

It’s super easy to make with only a few ingredients, and is very filling. Perfect for Meatless Mondays, or any night of the week. You may also like this spicier Butternut Pasta with Spicy Sausage and Spinach version. And for a pasta dish made with pumpkin puree, try this Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Pasta.

This recipe started out as a mistake, a butternut squash puree that was far too thin and liquidy. A very HAPPY mistake! Don’t you love when that happens? I decided to make it into a pasta sauce and added a ton of good quality cheese (don’t use the cheap stuff), fresh sage, garlic and leeks which are milder than onions and quite delicious. The sauce turned out savory, creamy and delicious. The best part? Tommy LOVED it and he’s not always easy to please.

Helpful Tips

  • You can double the sauce and freeze the rest. Let it cool and transfer to freezer safe containers. I love these Souper Cubes (affil link) for freezing soups and sauces in portions! Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • To speed this up, you can buy pre-cut and peeled butternut squash instead of doing it yourself. Here’s an easy tip for cutting and peeling butternut squash yourself.
  • I used spaghetti here, but any pasta shape would work. Whole wheat of gluten-free pasta would also be great!
