PREPARATION

              
                    
  • Preparing the Squash
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Arrange the squash cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast the squash in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
  • Cooking the Pasta
  • While the squash is roasting, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to the package instructions.
  • Drain the pasta and set it aside, keeping ½ cup of the pasta cooking water.
  • Preparing the Creamy Sauce
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute
  • Add the roasted squash to the skillet, then pour in the vegetable broth and coconut cream.
  • Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Incorporating the Le Grec Original Creamy Dressing
  • Once the sauce begins to thicken slightly, stir in the Le Grec Original Creamy dressing to add freshness to the sauce. Mix well.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water to thin it out and make it creamier.
  • Serving
  • Serve immediately on plates, garnished with crushed nuts for a bit of crunch and fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
  • For a final touch, drizzle a light stream of Le Grec Original Creamy dressing over the top of the pasta before serving.
