Ingredients
7 oz butternut squash
5.3 oz onion
5-6 cloves garlic
3.5 oz white beans (I used can bean)
1 tbsp cooking oil (dividend)
2 cup plant-based milk
2-3 sprigs of thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Spaghetti by servings
Steps
Prepare
Minced garlic
Thinly sliced onion
Remove butternut squash skin, cut into pieces
Boil the spaghetti according to the portion size until 2 minutes before reaching the al dente level, then remove it, because it will be cooked more later, so you don't have to worry about the hard texture
Cooking
Stir fry half minced garlic and onion with 1 tsp cooking oil in a pot over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragnant. Then add butternut suqash in the pot, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes. Add 100 g of navy beans and 2 cup plant-based milk to the pot and a few sprigs of thyme. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, simmer for 15 minutes
After 15 minutes, the squash is soft, use a hand blender, puree all the ingredients (or use a blender to puree the cooked ingredients)
Heat 2 tsp cooking oil over medium low heat. Saute the remaining garlic. Then, pour 1/3 cup to 2/3 cup of butternut squash puree into the pan, bring to a gentle boil on the stove. When the sauce starts to thicken, add the prepared spaghetti. Mix gently on the stove, let the sauce cling to the spaghetti, until the spaghetti reach your desired softness. About 1-2 minutes is just right in al dente. Then turn off the heat and sprinkle with pepper.
Note
If the sauce is still left over in the pot, you can eat it as a soup. If you do not want to eat soup, you can reduce the amount of nut milk (use about 1 cup or bit more)
Pour the puree into the pan to make each serving (or up to 2 servings), It may make the spaghetti be well coated and heat distribute better.
When cooking the puree on the stove, wait for it to thicken and then add the noodles. Time it so that after 2 minutes adding the spaghetti to the sauce, the sauce is dense and the noodles are at your desired level of softness if you don't want your spaghetti too soggy nor soft.
Add nutritional yeast (for vegan recipe) or parmesan (vegetarian recipe) if you want your spaghetti to be more rich in flavor
