Great recipe. I saw one of the comments stated that it lacked umami ….I added a tablespoon of white miso. Made it really nice

This has stayed in my top 5 favorite plant based meals since going vegan in 2018. I triple the fried sage because it is so yummy on it and I always make sure to have plenty for every helping.

I made this and we didn’t really like it :( the base recipe really lacks the umami that a butternut pasta dish needs in my opinion. However I stirred in some nutritional yeast and it boosted the flavor profile significantly, so I’d recommend any vegans to try that or others to add some ricotta/parmesan cheese for sure. Also careful on the pepper, it will overpower the dish very quickly if you add too much. I’d honestly just omit the pepper. Probably won’t be making this again :/

This was SO good and feels like fall. I added roasted tofu and sun dried tomatoes, plus I used an immersion blender to pureé the sauce instead of transferring it to a standing blender. Worked great. I always trust your recipes!

This is SO very delicious! I’m obsessed with the crunchy sage leaves. I went a bit heavy on the red pepper flakes and really liked that added kick. This is going on my favorites list. I just love your recipes. Thank you!

Not a fan, unfortunately. The texture and flavour were not to my liking and I struggled to eat a whole plate of it. It got gooey quick.

I am going to make the creamy squash linguine tomorrow. It sounds delicious. I’d like to know if it’s possible to make the squash portion ahead of time. Once the pasta is cooked, the pasta water would warm up the squash and the remains steps could be completed. Thank you. Maureen
