Easy to make with just a few simple ingredients, this creamy Butternut Squash Pasta is Italian home cooking at its best.

This is the kind of pasta dish you’ll find on the table in an Italian home, not on a restaurant menu. Italian cooking is very seasonal, and this is one of those dishes that makes the most of butternut squash when it’s in season. The potatoes and squash create a naturally creamy sauce that coats every piece of pasta without adding any cream.

If you’re looking for an easy dinner that’s filling, and full of flavor, this is one you’ll want to make!

INGREDIENTS:
8 oz (250g) pasta mista
8 oz (250g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
8 oz (250g) butternut squash, cubed
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
Vegetable broth, as needed (about 1.5 liters / 6 cups)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Add a generous drizzle of olive oil to a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery and sauté until softened.
2. Add the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute, stirring it into the vegetables.
3. Add the cubed potatoes and butternut squash and sauté everything together for another minute.
4. Season with salt and pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the vegetables.
5. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes and squash begin to soften.
6. Add the pasta directly to the pot. Add more broth as needed so there is enough liquid for the pasta to cook.
7. Cook until the pasta is al dente, stirring often. As everything cooks together, the potatoes and squash will begin to break down and make the dish naturally creamy.
8. Turn off the heat and stir in freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
