Butternut Squash Pasta

This pasta taps into those autumn vibes by using a seasonal favorite, butternut squash! We’ve used Gourmet Garden™ Minced Garlic Stir-In Paste two ways – tossing it with cubes of squash for roasting and then as a base for silky pasta sauce. To bring even more flavor and aroma to the dish, we added a hefty pinch of Gourmet Garden™ Lightly Dried Italian Herbs, making this pasta an instant favorite.
