Start by roasting the butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of each salt and black pepper in the oven until it’s caramelized and tender. While it cooks, sauté the onions and garlic in a skillet. Then add the tomato paste and spices.

Serve garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for a finishing touch. Enjoy!
To make these Creamy Roasted Butternut Beans, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F/200 °C.
On a baking sheet, toss the butternut squash cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper and spread in a single layer.
Roast the butternut squash for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, or until the squash is tender and caramelized.
In the meantime, heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tablespoons tomato paste, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme.
Stir in 6 ½ tablespoons heavy cream and 4 tablespoons water, then stir in the roasted butternut squash, beans, and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan. Reduce the heat and simmer until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Serve garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
