If you are ready to bring out the best of this versatile vegetable, explore our butternut squash recipes. After all, butternut squash is one of the most popular pumpkin varieties because of its smooth, pale orange flesh and rich, nutty flavour. It works beautifully in roasted dishes, velvety soups, and creamy pasta sauces, and it is equally at home in salads and baked goods.

For something simple and satisfying, roast butternut squash in the oven with herbs and spices. You can savour it as a savoury snack or use it as a side or salad topping. Another one of our favourites is butternut squash risotto, where the sweetness of the squash pairs beautifully with Parmesan and fresh herbs.

Even pasta lovers get their fill with butternut squash pasta with a cream, garlic, and nutmeg sauce coating every strand with rich autumn flavour. And for something that feels both rustic and elegant, this butternut squash quiche combines tender squash with cheese, eggs, and a flaky crust.
