Ingredient
Metric
|
500g butternut squash (about one small squash), peeled and diced
|
|
400g pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rigatoni)
|
|
1 onion, thinly sliced
|
|
2 garlic cloves, minced
|
|
200ml coconut cream
|
|
½ cup vegetable broth
|
|
¼ cup Le Grec Original Creamy dressing
|
|
Salt and pepper to taste
|
|
2 tablespoons olive oil
|
|
Fresh herbs (thyme or parsley) for garnish

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.
