Make Butternut Squash Spaghetti Vegetarian for a Healthy Version
This vegetarian butter nut squash spaghetti is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegetarian cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right.
By building meals around vegetarian pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegetarian recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless meals for your table.
What’s In This Roasted Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese?
- Butternut Squash, Onion, Garlic – I get all the fresh produce for my recipes from my garden and from Misfits Market – they sell all organic produce at a super discounted price, and it’s purchased direct from the farmers. We get Misfit Market boxes every other week and love picking out our favorite seasonal produce for delivery. You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
If you think organic produce is too expensive… think again, and give Misfits Market a look!
- Spaghetti – I used this delicious spaghetti for my pasta, which is one of my favorite long-noodle shapes. This is a normal wheat spaghetti (the texture is absolutely perfect!) but if you are looking for a gluten free version, I like this one instead.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Milk (or any unsweetened milk you would normally drink)
- Mustard Powder: I love adding this mustard powder to any mac and cheese type dish – it adds a nice sharpness and bright yellow color.
- Light Sweet Miso Paste – I love this light and sweet miso paste, I keep a few packs in my pantry for recipes when I want to add a little umami flavor in a pinch.
- Sea salt & pepper
Plant-Based Comfort Food Recipes for the WIN!
This plant based butter nut squash pasta is the tastiest, coziest dinner meal. It’s perfect for a hearty meal for the family, and also great to make for company if you are having guests for dinner. It makes a great holiday meal as well. The stove does a lot of the work, so you can enjoy hands-off time while you prep sides or a salad!
How Do I Make this Butternut Squash Pasta?
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, grease a 13×9 baking dish and set aside.
- Coat the diced squash in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and place on a large baking sheet with the onions and garlic. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast the squash for about 30 minutes until it begins to become brown on the edges. Let squash cool, and reduce the oven temp to 350.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook spaghetti until al dente, about 2 minutes less than the box recommends. Drain, and set pasta aside.
- When the squash is finished cooking, add it to a blender with the corn starch, mustard powder, almond milk, and blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Add more almond milk if needed if the sauce is too thick. Taste, and add salt and pepper, using more if desired.
- Add the sauce to the pasta, and stir well to combine. Top with a liberal sprinkle of parmesan cheese (or your favorite vegan alternative) and enjoy!
