As autumn settles in, comfort foods are suddenly on the mind. And I’m starting to crave all things orange! To satisfy both cravings, I had a pasta party featuring this shrimp pasta with a smoky, cheesy butternut squash sauce.
This recipe is not super heavy – there is no cream in the sauce. Richness comes from bacon and parmesan cheese, but the bulk of the dish is nutritious butternut squash, spices and lighter shrimp. A few tablespoons of nutritional yeast amp up the cheese factor and bring lots of B vitamins along for the ride. Use whole wheat pasta for extra fiber.
I boiled a squash from my neighbor’s garden and pureed it myself in this shiny new Cuisinart Elemental 8-Cup Food Processor (new to stores June 2014). The Shrimp Council and Cuisinart have partnered to give one away to a lucky reader – scroll down to win one for yourself! It’s a bit smaller and much lighter in weight than the one we have, so it’s actually easier to use.
If you’re short on time, however, you could easily use canned squash or pumpkin and cut this recipe time in half : )
Let’s get cookin’!
Boil 2 cups of cubed squash for about 15 minutes until fork tender.
Drain the squash and puree it along with 3/4 of a cup of veggie broth until smooth. You could use a food processor or a blender – just make sure you add enough liquid to puree. {Side note: my squash was huge, so I cooked about twice as much squash to make extra puree for a butternut squash soup later this week! That’s why I have so much.}
To get the recipe going, cook your bacon and shrimp one after the other in a skillet, allowing the shrimp to cook in the bacon grease so they get nice and crispy! Don’t overcrowd the pan or you’ll get wimpy shrimp – I cooked mine in batches.
Sizzle…
Be sure to pat the shrimp dry so they aren’t too water logged when you add them to the bacon grease!
Once both are cooked, set aside.
Cook your pasta – ooo la la! I went with fresh pasta for extra pizzazz but you could easily use dried. Just be sure to scale back by about a third, according to Real Simple!
Turn your skillet heat back to low and add in your garlic. I didn’t wash my skillet so that the bacon and shrimp brown bits would provide lots of flavor and the fat still in the skillet would serve as my cooking oil for the garlic.
Once your garlic is fragrant and beginning to brown, add 3 cups of butternut squash puree, plus your parmesan, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat
For a garnish, I added some fresh thyme
And gently mixed in the shrimp and bacon.
And there you have yourself a fancy pasta dish loaded with cheesy squash sauce, succulent shrimp and crispy bacon!
But let’s be real – it’s not that fancy, it’s just gooood : )
Shrimp Pasta with a Butternut Squash Sauce
Ingredients
- For the butternut squash puree
- 2 cups prepped and cubed butternut squash
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth
- Recipe
- 3 cups butternut squash puree homemade or premade
- 1 pound of fresh pasta or 1/3 less dried pasta
- 4 slices bacon chopped into small pieces
- 1 pound of shrimp

- Fresh thyme to garnish optional
Instructions
- To make butternut squash puree
- First boil squash for about 15 minutes or until fork tender. Then drain and puree in a food processor or blender (being careful of steam) with about 3/4 cup vegetable broth (use less and add more if you need it!) until smooth.
- Recipe

Shrimp Scampi!
This looks unreal, Kath! I love shrimp and butternut squash, so I’m salivating at the thought of this. My favourite shrimp and pasta dish is pad thai!
I have been thinking of adding shrimp back in to my diet…but I’m still not sure I can do it!
I recently made a pasta sauce using winter squash as well and it turned out amazing! Usually I prepare squash in sweet ways but it’s so nice to use them in savory dishes as well! So yummy. This looks awesome!
Awesome recipe! I will absolutely be making this soon, perhaps this weekend!
Also, one of my favorite shrimp pasta dishes is shrimp piccata. 🙂
Hopefully this one. 😉
Hi Kath, I’m curious about your cooking method for the squash. I’m in Australia and for as long as I can remember, the advice from our nutritionists has been to steam vegetables wherever possible rather than boiling them, to retain maximum nutrients. I know you did use some of the cooking broth, but it seems to me a lot of the vitamins would still be leached out and antioxidants destroyed through a 15-minute boil. (I wouldn’t boil any vegetable for that long apart from potatoes.) I know nutritional content is important to you, so it seemed an unexpected cooking choice. Is the different technique a cultural difference, or has the scientific wisdom changed? Thanks in advance!
You are correct and steaming would be fine too. Just get that squash tender enough to puree!
I was thinking if I made this, I’d roast the squash!
I didn’t just to save time, but I think it would be delish!
My favorite shrimp pasta dish is fettucini alfredo with shrimp. I try to lighten it up a bit by making it at home and using a mixture of light cream and milk from our dairy… but I definitely don’t skimp on the parmesan or shrimp 😉
Shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta is my fav.
I love gumbo with lots of shrimp in it. So very good! I love this recipe too!
Shrimp stir-fry! But this looks pretty tasty!

Looks delicious. Do I need the nutritional yeast though? or can i substitute?
Just use extra parm 🙂
Pasta looks amazing!!!
Love bang bang shrimp !!
I love shrimp scampi. Butter, garlic, and shrimp? Can’t go wrong!
My family loves shrimp Alfredo. The last time I made it, I actually made the noddles from scratch. It was really good. Still trying to master the sauce from scratch.
This recipe looks delicious. I love the versatility of shrimp. I usually just toss an assortment of whatever vegetables I have on hand with shrimp, olive oil and a fresh herbs.
My favorite shrimp pasta is lemon butter shrimp over capellini. YUM

This dish looks so tasty, can’t wait to try it!! Not really a pasta dish, but I like eating shrimp with spaghetti squash.
My favorite shrimp dish is shrimp and grits! Years ago I found a recipe in a Southern Living magazine that used poblano peppers and bacon and it is a perfect compliment to shrimp!
My favorite shrimp pasta is Shrimp Scampi!
Shrimp, pasta, peas in a pesto sauce is my favorite dish!
Sounds good! I need to try nutritional yeast as I love cheese sauces but would like a way to make it healthy.
Oh wow, this looks and sounds A-mazing! I rarely make shrimp, since my hubs won’t eat fish or seafood, but there is this lemon-yogurt pasta (better than it sounds ;)) I make that I will occasionally add shrimp to.
Love pumpkin sauce for pasta! But my all time favorite is Spaghetti Bolognese 🙂
Pioneer Woman has an awesome shrimp curry dish that I am obsessed with – I swear I make it several times a month. I love shrimp – it is so versatile!
Shrimp Scampi!
Going to try this with pumpkin sauce. Looks yum.
Oh, my favorite is definitely pad thai!
Love any fresh pasta with vodka sauce and shrimp. The thought of it is making my mouth water as I type!
Love shrimp chopped into a fresh salsa!
Delicious. Did the fresh pasta come from Mona Lisa?

We’re having it tonight for the first time! We live nearby and I had my husband pick some up on the way home. Can’t wait to try it! 🙂

doses the sweetness from the squash come through in the flavor?
thanks
Not too much because it didn’t get caramelized. (A tip if you do want sweetness! )
I was thinking I wanted more savory due to it being a meal with shrimp and pasta. I love Nutritional yeast so this looks great!
I love simple grilled shirimp with Greek Seasonings on them….
Shrimp primavera
Spicy roasted red pepper sauce over whole wheat penne topped with shrimp!!
I love making a simple Mediterranean shrimp pasta dish, saute shrimp in olive oil and lemon juice and toss with fresh tomatoes, wilted spinach, crumbled feta and kalamata olives.

That dish looks amazing! I love shrimp 🙂
Shrimp scampi is my favorite shrimp and pasta dish although I like shrimp stirfry better 🙂 Who am I kidding? I love all things shrimp (and pasta)!

I’m a shrimp cocktail fan, especially with homemade cocktail sauce.
just a simple dish of shrimp and spaghettini with lemony dressing, but i also love seafood linguini!
As a girl originally from Baltimore, I need Old Bay on my shrimp. I like to make a creamy shrimp pasta dish that includes old bay, kind of like shrimp salad with pasta! Also, tarragon and lemon is always nice with shrimp if I’m making something lighter. This looks like an excellent fall dish!
I love this idea. I always struggle to put butternut squash into other dishes. I will definitely be trying this!
I like it simple. Angel hair pasta tossed with some oven roasted shrimp, olive oil and parmesan cheese. A little salt and pepper to taste and it’s perfect.
Shrimp Scampi!
This dish looks amazing. I love butternut squash and shrimp but would not have thought to pair them together. Favorite shrimp pasta dish a one that I make with bacon and lemon.
That looks amazing!
I like shrimp fra diavolo
Omg – in my world, butternut squash and pasta are best friends! But usually the pasta was on the outside and the squash was the filling…now it’s the squash’s turn to embrace the pasta! 🙂 Shrimp is just a bonus addition to the party that will be happening in my mouth!
But my favorite shrimp pasta dish is probably shrimp added to fettucini alfredo!

I love shrimp,scampi, but this recoe sounds amazing!

shrimp scampi! but really shrimp in anything is amazing!
Last week I made Bobby Flay’s shrimp and cheesy grits with bacon. Amazing! I will definitely give this recipe a try. I have a butternut squash on my counter that I need to use up and my kids love shrimp and pasta.
I’ve actually never made a shrimp pasta! My favorite in a restaurant was a shrimp pasta with a vodka sauce.
I just love shrimp that’s properly seasoned and steamed just right! Not overdone, not underdone. Strangely enough, my blue collar boss does it best! At our annual work cookouts his shrimp is THE STAR!

Shrimp Parm with fresh Mozzarella!
Sometimes it’s difficult to know what is the healthiest and most ecologically friendly purchase to make when buying shrimp.
I use Seafood Watch as a reference, but was wondering if you have a specific recommendation.
Thank you for your recipe- looks delicious!
I look for wild caught USA (per Seafood Watch – love them). I can usually find some fresh and frozen at Whole Foods from the US.
Oh the things I could make with a food processor! And it would match my other Cuisinart products! 🙂
This looks really good!
I love Shrimp Quesedillas!
Shrimp, pesto, pine nuts, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, baby spinach, and goats’ cheese. I actually love this on a pita and grilled in the oven, but it’s also fantastic over pasta!
Oh gosh, I don’t think there’s many ways I don’t like shrimp! 🙂 I don’t like it in a red sauce, as it gets overpowered. My favorite is probably fettucini alfredo with shrimp though. But you can’t beat them sauteed. Alaska (where I live) has amazing shrimp!
Homemade shrimp alfredo!
At my house, we like to make a shrimp dish with penne pasta, asaparagus, parmesan and sometimes bacon!

That looks very tasty!
I love penne and shrimp with vodka sauce.
I love shrimp but gave it up for years because of the terrible bycatch issues associated with the industry. That is until I learned about the Oregon bay shrimp industry’s sustainability awards. Bay shrimp are tiny, but I’m sure they’d still be delicious in this recipe!
I eat a plant-based diet so I make a delicious vegan version of this butternut sauce and add broccoli over pasta. It is my daughters’ favorite dish!
Shrimp Scampi!

This looks delicious, Kath! I always roast my squash before trying to slice and dice because I fear for my fingers! How do you cube before cooking?
I don’t often make pasta, but I LOVE spaghetti squash and zucchini. Some garlicky sauteed shrimp with roasted zucchini over spaghetti squash is my fave shrimp “pasta.”
Very carefully! Smaller squash are easier for me to cut. But it’s never easy!
What might be another protein to use if I don’t like shrimp? Do you think another seafood like scallops or salmon would work, or should I stay safe and just do chicken? Thanks!
I think all of the above would work!

shrimp with homemade cilantro pesto and grilled veggies- super fresh!
I love shrimp fried lo mein noodles with a side of miso soup!
Ooooh, perfect timing — we just decided we needed to replace our food processor because the slice/grate blade doesn’t work at all (we would just replace the blade, but it’s an old, cheap model and that feature never really worked well). We do lots of purees with squash from our garden. Fingers crossed!
Shrimp fra diablo!
Shrimp and linguine with pesto!
I love shrimp fra diavolo!
Basil, shrimp, and zucchini pasta!
