Creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Carbonara

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for cooking spaghetti.

Toss squash, onion, 2 garlic cloves, tomato paste, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and roast, stirring once halfway through, until the squash is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain.

Mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and the minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the almonds are toasted and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add sage and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Set aside.

When the squash is tender, transfer the mixture to a blender. Add broth, nutritional yeast and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Puree until very smooth.

Return the spaghetti to the pot and toss with the squash sauce. Top each serving of pasta with a generous tablespoon of the almond mixture.
