Vejledning

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Add butternut squash, onion and garlic to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Break the onion apart and lay each piece flat on the baking sheet. Toss squash in oil salt, pepper and seasonings. Roast for 30-35 minutes, removing the garlic after 15-20 minutes. The garlic will be soft and browned when it is done cooking, we don't want to burn the garlic. Remove the onion once it is softened and browned, this will take about 25-30 minutes.

Add cooked butternut squash, onion and garlic to a blender along with vegetable broth, pasta water and cottage cheese. Blend until smooth.

Toss sauce with pasta, parmesan and basil.

Divide out and serve.
