Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Butternut Squash Sauce
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed butternut squash, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the squash is tender.
- Once the squash is cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Keep warm on low heat.
Cook the Pasta and Chorizo
- While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes.
- In a skillet, add the sliced chorizo over medium heat. Cook until the chorizo is browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine and Serve
- Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pot with the butternut squash sauce. Stir to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
- Add the crispy chorizo to the pasta and sauce, mixing well. Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Notes
For added creaminess, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving. Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy chorizo.
