5 Ingredient Butternut Squash Linguine

Hey sistas!

It’s Fall and that means that it is time to whip out the Fall recipes! Today we are bringing you a Butternut Squash Linguine recipe that only needs five ingredients! It is warm, yummy, and perfect for Autumn.

This week, I went to a local pumpkin patch. It was so fun and full of incredible fall treats such as apple cider, kettle corn, and caramel apples. So, it definitely put me in the mood for a recipe that is perfect for this time of year!

If you have never cooked with a butternut squash, they have a tough outer shell, but a flavorful inside. It is a delicious seasonal squash that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Today we are going to bake and puree the inside of the squash and serve over pasta!
