You’ll Also Need
Cooked Pasta of Your Choosing (we used a 12 ounce box of gluten free pasta)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400f/204c. Place 1 - 2 ounces of cooking oil on a baking tray, then add your frozen squash cubes. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt all over, then roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Your cubes should be easy to pierce with a fork when they’re ready.
Whilst your squash cooks, get your pasta going. Don’t forget to salt the water.
Prep your onion and greens. Heat a large non-stick pan on medium-high heat (7/10 for us). Add your butter and once melted, add the onion, greens, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Mix together and cook for 15 minutes. Stir as needed to prevent burning. Once it’s nicely cooked down, turn off the heat and set aside. Your greens can be anything that’s safe for you. Spinach, dino kale, collard greens, and chard are all great options.
Your squash should be done by now. Transfer the squash to your blender, and add the milk, maple sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Blend until ultra smooth. The pasta should be done too. Drain it, then return to your pot.
Now, combine it all together. Transfer the veg to the pasta pot, then pour in the sauce from your blender. Mix very well and you’re ready to serve.
