This was so delicious for a fall meal! I usually just make Alfredo sauce or use store bought, but I enjoyed making my own. It was fresh and easy to make! A good way to sneak veggies in as well!
Made this for my family and toddler, everyone loved it! Our go to meal when I want to add that butternut squash into the mix – was so tasty and sweet!
Can I freeze the sauce? Looks great!
Looks delicious! I’m wondering, is that basil on top?
