You don’t need to leave your house to enjoy a restaurant-quality dish! This pasta with butternut squash and cauliflower in a cream sauce with thyme and white wine may not be your usual supper, but it definitely can be, since it’s very simple to prepare.
2 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil
1 yellow onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
dash of black pepper
1/2 cup white wine, like Bartenura Moscato
4 cups water
1 pound Tortiglioni pasta
3/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 tablespoon Gefen Olive Oil
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash of black pepper
In a large pot with the stove on medium heat, sauté the onion in oil. Add in the spices.
Once the onion is translucent, add in the wine and allow to cook uncovered two to three minutes. Add in the uncooked pasta, then cover with water. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and allow to cook covered about 20 minutes. Check every so often to be sure nothing is sticking to the pot.
Once the pasta is soft and most of the water is absorbed add in the cream and mix. Add in a splash more wine if you’d like more of that flavor. Allow to cook another five minutes, then turn off the flame.
Mix in the roasted vegetables (see below) and add more salt or pepper, if needed.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Toss everything together on a baking sheet. Bake about 45 minutes or until the edges are golden. Add to the cooked pasta.

I love your recipes and your tips too! This time I have one for you – I recently switched from fresh butternut squash to frozen for roasting and find it works just as well – especially if adding to a recipe. Just makes everything faster and easier (cutting a butternut squash takes strength!) without compromising on taste 🙂
Thank you so much for the comment and suggestion! I’m definitely a fan of the convenience of frozen too! It makes things so much simpler when we’re short on time.
This recipe looks delish! Any way to make the roasted vegetables without using an oven? (mine is fleishig and the half and half is dairy..)
Made it using my milchig toaster and came out great! keep these recipes coming! Thank you
