Butternut Squash Pasta Carbonara is the perfect fall meal and it will likely become a staple for you this time of year. It’s deliciously creamy (even without egg), it’s rich and hearty, it has the perfect balance and blend of flavors (bacon + butternut squash + sage) and it’s a meal your whole family will enjoy, even my kids gave this a big thumbs up!

Autumn Carbonara with Butternut Squash
The only tedious thing about this recipe to me is peeling, seeding and chopping up the squash into small cubes…it takes foreeeeever. Okay like 10 – 15 minutes, but 10 – 15 minutes can be precious these days so maybe I’ll have to try it out with the pre-cut stuff from the store to make it a quicker meal and see how it goes.

Really though this pasta is so good it is most definitely worth the chopping required so don’t hesitate to try it!

It is absolutely delicious and it’s the perfect comforting fall dish. And if you want to add extra bacon I won’t judge, I may or may not have added a little extra myself :).
