Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Add cubed butternut squash and broccoli to a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Nestle the block of Boursin cheese right in the center.
Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until the squash is tender and the Boursin is soft and melty.
While the veggies bake, cook your chickpea pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the roasted butternut squash, broccoli, and Boursin together until creamy. Add the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water (add more if needed or use cream for a creamier sauce). Stir until everything is evenly coated and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add optional Parmesan or garlic powder if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
