Best Butternut Squash Spaghetti Sauce Recipes
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SPAGHETTI SAUCE
When I heard about this recipe from a friend of mine, I smiled and nodded and thought to myself - no WAY will my kids eat this - or me for that matter! But she kept saying how delicious it was so I tried it and boy was she right! My friend created this recipe because her husband won't eat vegetables so she finds ways to "hide" them from him. It looks and taste just like spaghetti sauce - the sauce is a little thicker and not quite the robust red that spaghetti sauce is. Try it at least once! I used lots of garlic because I love it so modify to your tastes. As a suggestion, I would add only one can of stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce before adding the second cans until you do a taste test Same suggestion with the tomato paste. Tomato sauce can't get much healthier than this. If you try it, I'd love to know of any modifications you made.

SPAGHETTI WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PARMESAN SAUCE
This recipe was adapted from skinnytaste.com. The photo looked so good, I had to make it. I tweaked it a bit and I didn't have leeks, so I used onion instead. But If you have leeks, I would suggest that you use them (I will next time). It was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I have ever eaten. Hope you like it too.
