Hi Friends! This week we have a cozy, delicious and comforting twist on the classic burnt butter and sage pasta recipe. I have subbed out the traditional wheat pasta typically used in this dish with our seasonal (and gluten free) buddy, butternut squash, We are using sprialized squash in this dish for the "noodles", but feel free to cut in cubes and roast your squash if you don't have access to a spiralizer. Most importantly, cozy up and enjoy the aroma of these fall flavors wafting through house. This dish is family friendly and can easily be adapted to include your favorite add ins like tomatoes, broccolini, grilled shrimp or italian sausage. Hope you enjoy!
