It's been a while since I did a new recipe! (or maybe took the time to blog a new recipe.) Lately, I have gotten into selling things through our town's Buy, Sell, Trade page on Facebook.
I even sold our CAR!! (seriously-I posted the pics and description and in less than an hour a couple was at our house and they bought it!!)
Anyway, so while perusing Buzzfeed I found several delicious looking pasta recipes.
I HAD to try this one!
Butternut Squash Browned Butter and Rosemary Fettucini Alfredo
The recipe promises it'll be ready in 30 minutes (and it was!), that it's a lighter version of Fettucini Alfredo, and has lots of flavor. All promises delivered!
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
- 16 oz. whole wheat fettucini noodles (or any other whole grain pasta you want!)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock or, in a pinch, water)
- 3 cups prepared diced butternut squash (about 1/2 a large squash)
- 1 cup milk
- salt and pepper, to taste
Cut up Butternut squash. This is about 1/2 of a large squash. This is about 3 cups.
You can look at my previous post on how to prepare the squash.
4 tablespoons of butter and a small onion chopped
1 tablespoon of Rosemary finely chopped
Allow butter to get nice and brown, and onions cooked to translucent before adding the Rosemary and about a cup of Chicken Broth
Add the cups of butternut squash and cook on medium high heat for about 10 minutes till soft.
Meanwhile, make your pasta. I had on hand regular Spaghetti noodles but you can use any. The recipe uses a Fettucini Noodle but these are just as delicious!
Once soft, mash with a potato masher.
Add one cup of milk, salt and pepper, heat milk through and then use an immersion blender to make smooth. (If you don't have one you can use a food processor.)
Pour over noodles.
The flavors are so wonderful! The browned butter, rosemary and the squash. YUMMM
I also took it to work for my dinner and it reheated beautifully!
If you want- you can eat it as a soup!
Thank you Buzzfeed! I can't wait to try more of their recipes!
