Butternut squash is the darling of fall produce, sweet and smooth, hearty and versatile. You can soup it, sauce it, roast it, risotto it, and so much more. The hardest part (other than peeling and prepping)? Not eating it all in one sitting!
While I'm partial to simply roasted butternut squash (all the more with brown butter and thyme), I also love butternut squash soups of all sorts and butternut squash sauce for pasta. If you've been saving this beloved squash solely for soup, you've been missing out. Don't worry though, these recipes are here to help!

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

"Unlike many butternut soup recipes, this one starts by roasting the squash in the oven rather than cooking it on the stovetop. Roasting does double duty in the soup: first, there’s no need to peel and cube raw squash (which is hard work), and second, it gives the soup an added depth of flavor and sweetness." —Katie Morford, Recipe Developer

"I don't recommend using no-boil noodles for this recipe. If you like tender noodles, they won’t quite do the trick. Because lasagna is a lot of work, I think it’s best to err on the conservative side and cook the noodles first in boiling water the old-fashioned way."—Sally Vargas, Recipe Developer
