A simple and flavorful vegan pasta sauce using onion, celery, minced garlic, vegetable stock, Silk Almond Milk, sage, oregano, salt and pepper and of course roasted butternut squash.
Although Nate and I aren’t vegetarians or vegans, occasionally we like to eat meatless meals too. When I joined Silk to come up with a meatless dinner idea, I thought of this butternut squash pasta.
I made a simple and flavorful vegan pasta sauce using onion, celery, minced garlic, vegetable stock, Silk Almond Milk, sage, oregano, salt and pepper and of course roasted butternut squash. I of course served mine up on pasta noodles, I used fettucine noodles, but any noodle would do. And the great thing about this sauce is it would be delicious on pizza, lasagna, steamed vegetables or just for dipping some garlic bread into. Making it perfect for your main dish, a side dish or whatever.
Nate and I are going to try eating at least one meat free meal a day a week, and we’d love to have you join us! Monday nights are the perfect night to have a meatless meal, and why not enjoy a football game while your at it.
This pasta is a great place to start! Its so delicious, creamy and packed full of flavor. Serve your pasta with fresh steamed veggies to make it extra filling!
Silk has lots of great plant based to help you enjoy Meatless and dairy free Monday nights. Including Silk Soymilk, Almondmilk, Cashewmilk, Coconutmilk and a Dairy Free Yogurt Alternative.

This was delicious! I used a kabocha squash instead of a butternut, since its what I had lying around and it turned out really well. My meat and dairy eating family also really enjoyed it (:
Ellen Garrett says
That’s awesome. I am glad to know that it worked well for you too.
LarChar Welsh says
I want to try this. It appears from the picture of the plated dish that half a butternut squash will make a lot of sauce. For my trial I will scale it down considerably. Thanks for the recipe! It looks delicious.
Aimee Berrett says
Yes it does make quite a bit of sauce, you should be fine cutting the recipe in half instead for a smaller amount.

This pasta looks fantastic, Aimee! Love that it’s meatless and the butternut squash is perfect for fall! Such a great idea to use almond milk too!
