Transform This Canned Fall Soup Into A Cozy And Creamy Pasta Sauce - Tasting Table

"It's also precooked, pre-seasoned, and ready to eat, which means it's also ready to pour over your next pasta dish. Instead of warming a can of butternut squash soup in a deep pot, you can warm it in a wide sauce pan while you boil your favorite shape of pasta. Pour the freshly cooked pasta into the bubbling soup with a little reserved pasta water, and you've got butternut squash pasta!"

"While you can transform butternut squash soup into a pasta sauce right out of the can, there are plenty of easy additions to upgrade butternut squash soup and, in turn, pasta sauce. Consider trying out our recipe for butternut squash ravioli with sage and brown butter sauce, or perhaps throw in some toasted walnuts and Parmesan cheese to round out the sweet and herby notes of the sauce."

Canned butternut squash soup serves as an instant creamy pasta sauce because it is precooked, pre-seasoned, and smooth straight from the can. Warm the soup in a wide saucepan while boiling pasta, then toss drained pasta into the bubbling soup with a little reserved pasta water for a silky coating. The soup also works as a spreadable sauce in baked dishes like lasagna or cannelloni. Recommended brands include Campbell's, Trader Joe's, Panera Bread, and Rao's bottled butternut squash soup. Flavor enhancers include sage and brown butter, toasted walnuts, Parmesan, pear and gorgonzola ravioli, and red pepper flakes.
