Anyone else still recovering from the holidays? We get it. The festivities are so much fun, but definitely can be draining. And now we're in the thick of the hibernation months, just waiting for the sun to peak out again. Until that lucky day comes, there's no better way to kick the winter blues than with some comfort food at home. Utilizing classic winter flavors with a Harmless Harvest twist, our Sage Brown Butter Butternut Squash Pasta is perfect for a cozy weeknight meal. It's an easy pasta dinner that's sure to impress the entire family, your friends, your coworkers–anyone you want to impress, really.
The Recipe Card
Our pasta dish is like a warm hug on a plate. The brown butter sauce, aromatic sage, and velvety butternut squash delivers the ultimate comfort you crave. We swapped out heavy cream for our Organic Coconut Smoothie, which not only cuts the heavy dairy, but also adds a creamy and ultra-smooth texture.
What You'll Need
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ head of garlic
- 2 Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Smoothies
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 17 sage leaves (10 for sauce, 7 for frying)
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp pepper
How To Make It
- Cut and cube butternut squash. Add to sheet pan with ½ head of garlic and 10 sage leaves. Toss everything with 2 tbsp olive oil and seasonings. Bake at 400° degrees for about 45 minutes (tossing halfway through) until squash is caramelized and tender.
- Add butternut squash to food processor and squeeze out roasted garlic cloves. Add one Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Smoothie and ½ cup of parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth before slowly adding in the second Organic Coconut Smoothie. Blend until desired consistency.
- Transfer sauce from food processor into a skillet to heat on low. In a separate pot, boil pasta of choice. Add pasta water to sauce in skillet if needed to thin out sauce.
- Add 2 tbsp butter over medium heat to separate saucepan and let brown. Add 7 sage leaves and fry until crispy. Remove sage leaves and set aside. Add browned butter directly into pasta sauce in skillet and stir to incorporate.
- Add cooked pasta noodles to sauce and toss well to combine. Serve with crispy sage leaves and parmesan.
The Smoothest Criminal: Our Organic Coconut Smoothie
Looking to combine the rich, refreshing taste of our original Organic Coconut Water with the tender, succulent coconut meat? Then look no further than our Organic Coconut Smoothie. Our pink coconut water is made with only the best – Certified Organic and Fair Trade Nam Hom Coconuts harvested in Thailand. We just couldn’t get enough of the coconut, so we then blended it with the fragrant coconut meat to make our silky smooth coconut smoothie. And that’s it on the ingredients list – no added sugars, flavors, or any other additives. We would never overpower the subtly sweet and naturally nutty flavors of the coconut with any extra junk.
The Organic Coconut Smoothie is a crave-satisfying treat for any time of day. Anybody else decide to start working out more in the New Year? Leaving hot yoga class feeling like a puddle of mush?
