CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SPAGHETTIPeace, Peace Fam!

I missed you guys! It feels good to be back on the blog; I hope all is well in your world.

Let’s talk butternut squash spaghetti, shall we?

If there were ever a reason to eat copious amounts of squash, this creamy butternut squash spaghetti would be it.

Made with butternut squash noodles, drenched with a simple-easy butternut sauce with kisses of sage throughout is obsession waiting to happen.  CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SPAGHETTI

This sauce is made with only five ingredients, which makes life so much easier. It’s so easy; my nine-year-old can make it in half- an hour.

Here’s a noodle tip: slightly cook the butternut squash noodles, overcooked is totally unforgivable.

Then plunge into the abyss of squash noodles, frequently surfacing for air.
