You all know how much I love pasta, which is why I’m super pumped about today’s recipe. We’re taking all the luxurious creaminess of a traditional alfredo sauce and giving it a fall-forward veggie twist by using butternut squash in the sauce, plus a green spaghetti!

This Butternut Squash Alfredo uses Ronzoni SuperGreens® Thin Spaghetti from ACME Markets. The pasta is packed with greens as it is made with spinach, zucchini, broccoli, parsley, and kale. So, not only are we making the sauce a little more nutritious by using squash in place of the heavy cream and cheese you often find in alfredo but we’re also getting an excellent dose of veggies within the pasta itself. 

The butternut squash alfredo sauce can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to a week (or frozen for about a month), making it perfect for weekday meals for the family. I love that the pasta is a good source of fiber, vitamin A, thiamin, folate, iron, and riboflavin. I’m always looking for more ways to get iron into our diets, so finding out I could do that by twirling this pasta was quite the pleasant surprise!

The sauce has a slight sweetness from the squash and warmth from a dash of nutmeg, which is perfect for the autumn season. It’s balanced by the saltiness of some grated Parmesan and the welcome earthiness of the Ronzoni SuperGreens® Thin Spaghetti. I added shrimp for a little protein, but you could also omit or swap with ground turkey or chicken if you prefer. Just be sure to cook your protein fully before combining with the sauce and spaghetti.

The pasta can be found at your local ACME in the pasta aisle (it’s the only major green pasta made with 5 green vegetables on the market today), and be sure to check out the ACME mobile app in case there are any coupons or deals on your other ingredients!

I can’t wait to eat this butternut squash alfredo pasta throughout the fall and winter months. Prime pasta months if you ask me!
