4 Serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash (about 1 1/2 lbs.) peeled and cubed
  • 1 whole garlic bulb
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Schnucks olive oil, divided
  • 1 (16 oz.) pkg. Schnucks spaghetti
  • 1 cup Schnucks vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp. Schnucks dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup Schnucks nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Schnucks shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more to serve
  • 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley, plus more to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut about 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Place garlic on a piece of foil and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon oil. Wrap foil around garlic and place on one side of a sheet pan. Arrange squash on the other side of sheet pan, drizzle with remaining oil and, if desired, season with salt and pepper. Roast 35–40 minutes, stirring squash halfway through, or until squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
  2. Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta water.
  3. Squeeze roasted garlic into a large pot. Add squash, broth and thyme. Mash with a potato masher until mostly smooth.
  4. Stir in Greek yogurt and Parmesan until combined. Add cooked spaghetti and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until sauce reaches desired consistency.
  5. Top with parsley and additional Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately
Chef’s Tip

For an extra-smooth sauce, use an immersion blender, or transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and pulse until silky.

To make this dairy free, replace the Greek yogurt with an equal amount of dairy-free cream cheese, dairy-free sour cream, plain hummus or blended cannellini beans. Alternatively, blend 2 ounces silken tofu until smooth. Use dairy-free Parmesan or nutritional yeast in place of the Parmesan cheese.
