Fall-Inspired Pasta Dishes
Fall-inspired pasta dishes? Who would have thought that was even a thing?
As a huge pasta lover and a fan of fall, I’m totally intrigued about mixing the two, you guys!
Aside from creating a pumpkin or squash-specific dish, I rarely thought about adding gourds to my regular fall dinner recipes — including pasta!
While I’ve made my own zucchini pasta and used a spaghetti squash as a pasta replacement, I’m officially ready to branch out and try some new fall-inspired pasta recipes!
From unique pumpkin pasta recipes to these butternut squash pasta recipes.

Classic Butternut Squash Recipes
These first 4 butternut squash pasta recipes are what I would consider classics.
They all include butternut squash in the recipe but call for the use of regular pasta (or gluten-free pasta).
While technically only one of these recipes is labeled as gluten-free, any of them can be made gluten-free (or not gluten-free with a simple pasta swap.
As a gluten-free person myself, I’m all about making pasta swaps when I find a new recipe I want to try!
