Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the diced butternut squash and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the squash mixture until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a regular blender.
  • Return the blended mixture to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat until heated through.
  • Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

You can substitute the heavy cream with a plant-based alternative for a lighter version.
