    Butternut squash is my all time favorite squashes. What does butternut squash pair well with? It is so flavorful and goes well with everything from soups to pasta! I recently fell in love with roasting butternut squash. With that delicious success, we paired the roasted butternut squash with pasta and our creamy sauce found in Cajun Shrimp Pasta. Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Pasta is so flavorful and captures the flavor of fall in one amazing recipe.
