Beefy Butternut Squash Pasta Recipe: A Wholesome Pasta Dish for Dinner

Ingredients

• Ground beef : Working with lean beef is tricky as it tends to dry out once overcooked. Tip to prevent rubbery meat: Cook the meat on medium-low heat and allow the liquid to evaporate gradually.
• Butternut squash : Baked to perfection, butternut squash gives off a subtle sweetness and nuttiness, enjoyed by adults as much as it is by children.
• Onion : To prevent watery eyes, chill the onion in the fridge for around 10-15 minutes before dicing it.
• Cheese : Cheddar cheese is our top-notch choice for adding an extra layer of creaminess to pasta. However, if you’re lactose-intolerant, feel free to omit dairy from this recipe.
• Italian seasoning : This spice blend leans more on the herbaceous side with the presence of many dried aromatics (oregano, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram).
• Cajun seasoning : You can adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to suit your taste buds—a pinch for a mild kick or a splash for a more intense flavor.
