Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo

This Butternut Squash Alfredo combines two things I love, butternut squash and creamy alfredo sauce. The sauce is rich and creamy, with roasted butternut squash, garlic, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg.

This is easy to make and will get you in the fall mood. This veggie packed alfredo sauce is still rich and creamy and 1000% comforting.

The sauce is easy to make. You start by roasting the butternut squash and garlic in the oven, then blend it with a little bit of cream, water, parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg.

I adapted this recipe from The Kitchen's recipe. I made this sauce a little lighter, thicker, rescued the serving size and overall calories.
