This Butternut Squash Linguine with Parsley is the comforting bowl of pasta that you need in your life, with tons of flavor from zesty lemon and fresh parsley. It’s a perfect pasta to celebrate the Fall season!

Butternut squash is a delicious part of Fall that I look forward to each year. I love to roast butternut squash and use in pasta, curry, salads, and grain bowls. It’s hearty, nourishing, and perfectly sweet yet savory at the same time.
How this Butternut Squash Linguine with Parsley Comes Together
Roasting the butternut squash: you can use store bought chopped butternut squash, or you can peel and chop your own. If you’ll be chopping your own, check out the tutorial in my blog post here. You’ll also find my Butternut Squash Curry recipe there, which is super delicious and perfect for the season!
Cooking the linguine: make sure not to overcook your pasta, as you’ll want it al dente. Be sure to salt the water, which gives the pasta great flavor before it even hits the pan with the other ingredients. Reserve some pasta cooking water to use later.
Preparing the additions: finely chop as much or as little as you like. This recipe can take a LOT of parsley, so be generous! You’ll also need vegan butter, garlic powder, vegan parmesan, lemon juice and olive oil.
Putting it all together: Add the linguine to a large serving bowl or pan along with the butternut squash and the tasty additions.
