Joe Wicks creamy dreamy and not to mention cheesy, butternut squash pasta recipe. Easy to follow along with and quick to make. With just 15 minutes and a handful of ingredients you can be digging into Joe’s delicious Veggie Lean in 15 butternut squash delight!
I’m back again with yet another one of Joe Wicks Veggie Lean in 15 recipes. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m on a mission to share the best cookbook recipes I can find here on Smartblend for anyone who wants to try them out.
Joe Wicks veggie lean in 15 is one of those cookbooks I’m sharing recipes from. Today's is his creamy dreamy butternut squash pasta. Something I’ve made quite a lot, in-fact, it's one of the cookbook recipes I’ve cooked the most. And why?
It’s easy
There's no doubt about it, pasta is one of the easiest things to cook. However, when it comes to making your own pasta sauce the whole process becomes somewhat tedious.
Having to make your own sauce, as delicious as it can be, can take away ease. But this butternut squash sauce is super easy to make.
It’s Quick
Having a meal that takes 15 minutes to make is always a big plus. It’s good to have those 15 meals in your cooking repertoire for those days when you just really can’t be bothered.
It’s Delicious
And finally, why I love this recipe so much is because it’s so damn delicious. Creamy, dreamy and cheesy are the perfect ways to describe this as its exactly what I think whilst eating it!
Sometimes its the most simple and easy to cook recipes that turn out to be the most delicious and this is no exception. Even though it’s super simple, it doesn’t lack flavour of any kind. It is without a doubt, pasta perfection.
