Creamy Butternut Squash Alfredo Pasta

Butternut Pumpkin Pasta Cream is one of my favorite butternut pumpkin recipes! Seasoned with sage and fresh thyme, then garnished with salted bacon, this gluten-free pasta recipe is delicious, healthy and truly addictive. The perfect quick dinner idea that screams falling comfort food.

Creamy Butternut Squash This pasta has fresh sage and thyme that permeates the entire butternut squash pasta sauce and is made more creamy with a touch of milk then mixed together until smooth as silk. To cut a little sweetness from the pumpkin, I finish this dish with a little crispy meat on top, the sweet salty combo and the delicious taste of this pasta will really make you want more after every bite.
