Squash is wonderful to make creamy sauces for pasta, but many people are put off, as it’s so difficult to cut. In fact, a good knife is likely the answer, ensure a damp cloth is underneath your chopping board to keep things steady. Trim off both ends, cut through the middle and then remove the seeds. You can roast it first to soften the skin, before chopping up.

This butternut squash pasta sauce (Broke Bank Vegan) is a rich and creamy sauce that will make you a fan of butternut squash, which is kind of like ‘nature’s candy’ as it tastes just like butterscotch when it’s cooked.

The vegetable is combined with garlic, shallots, fresh herbs and red pepper flakes, along with soaked cashews (for the ‘creamy base’) and nutritional yeast (makes things taste cheesy).

Once you get to know butternut squash, you’ll be using it as a base for all kinds of recipes like a vegan mac and cheese. It’s difficult to cut, but this recipe does the obvious, and simply roasts it to bring out the sweetness, then it’s also easy to slice.
