Made this last night wow! So good!! Hubby grew the squash and I didn’t know what to do with it besides soup, until I found this recipe. He absolutely loved it and me for making it! You don’t have to puree the squash if you cook it enough, I put three small ones in the crockpot for 6 hours and they cooked perfectly. I cut them in half easily and scooped the seeds out. I added sautéed chicken, delicious!
Do you mash the squash up to make it into the sauce?
hi, do u have any tips on how to choose a perfect butternut squash? Like size or texture/color, weight?? (sorry, it’s just that I’ve never even held one in my life!) Your recipe looks to die for! 😉
You make the best comfort food! I would love a big dish of this tonight!
Oh my word, Robyn. This is a bunch of my no-control foods all in one. I can’t ever get enough butternut squash or mushrooms and combining them in a cream sauce is inspired to say the least. I could probably eat a whole batch of this myself.
Do i cut up the half of butternut squash before adding it to saute onions,into small pieces?.I don’t understand how its supposed to come out.Should it be creamy?.
Hi Terry,
By cooking to butternut squash as I did (in the link provided in the recipe), you won’t have to cut it up at all. Just scoop it out of the butternut squash peeling and it is ready to use.
Yes, I’m drooling!! This looks delish! And bonus, healthy!!
Oooooh I LOVE this. The color is so perfect. It just screams fall!
This sounds amazing! Do you cook the squash ahead of time or does it cook in the broth and cream?
Hi Leigh,
Yes, I use the butternut squash from this recipe — https://addapinch.com/cooking/2013/09/14/how-to-cook-butternut-squash/
This looks perfect! I love butternut squash the most (yup, even over pumpkin) and adding it to pasta is one of my favorite uses! I love the added mushrooms!
