A cozy pasta night twist: squash marinara with spaghetti & meatballs 🍝✨ #marinarasauce #fallrecipe

Welcome back friends. Today I’m sharing one of my new favorite quick fall meals ... squash marinara served over spaghetti and meatballs. It’s cozy, simple, and full of fall flavor without feeling heavy. This recipe couldn’t be easier. I roasted an acorn squash until it was soft, then scooped it right into the food processor while it was still warm. I added a mostly full jar of Prego marinara straight from the fridge ... nothing fancy, just what we had on hand. A quick blend and the sauce turned into the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The result? A creamy, flavorful fall twist on traditional pasta night. The squash adds a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tomato sauce and the savory meatballs. We loved it so much that the next night, I used the same sauce on meatball subs ... and it might’ve been even better the second time around. This dish makes the house smell amazing, comes together fast, and feels like a little bit of fall magic without a lot of work. It’s the perfect recipe for busy weeknights, cozy weekends, or when you just want something that tastes homemade but requires minimal effort. ✨ What you’ll see in this video: • How to make squash marinara in under 10 minutes • Easy fall dinner idea with butternut pasta • Cozy comfort food using real ingredients • How to blend marinara with roasted squash for extra flavor • Simple sauce idea that doubles as a dip or sandwich spread 💛 Why I love it: This recipe is all about using what’s on hand and making it feel special.
