Do u mean Dried or fresh sage???

I used red wine vinegar instead of lemon, candied pecans instead of walnuts, added a small yellow onion, doubled the amount of kale, topped with toasted almond flakes

Im hoping this question gets seen since its an older post. Ive been looking for ways to use butternut squash since I had it at a restaurant and fell in love! This will be my 1st go at making it at home. My question is this….would it be okay to omit the nuts as my son is deathly allergic. If leaving them out would cause too much of a flavor difference, can you suggest a nut free alternative? Im just overlooked the top excited to fix a butternut dish at home!!! Thank you in advance! <3 <3 <3

Delicious! I’ve been trying to make more meatless meals and everyone loved this. I didn’t have chickpeas so I used mushrooms instead. Also my sage had died out so I had to resort to dried but it all turned out wonderful. I also added a few slices of leftover pancetta from carbonara. So it wasn’t entirely meatless but I didn’t buy any new ingredients to make this. I even used leftover pasta!
We will be adding this to our rotation for sure

Made this last night, forgot to order walnuts from supermarket but had pine nuts as suggested. Used linguine as the pasta. It was truly delicious. My husband, who doesn’t really like squash, was not expecting to like it so was really shocked at how tasty it was. Definitely doing this again!

I just made this for dinner and added some sautéed mushrooms, fresh thyme, and used penne pasta. This is one of my favorite pasta dishes I’ve ever made; it’s incredible.

You’re a genius. Bought a butternut squash for the first time – feeling the season this year. We started growing fresh sage at home. You didn’t let us down with your spaghetti squash how-to so I figured I’d check here for guidance on what to do with the butternut. Swapped walnuts for pinenuts, added pancetta since it was in the fridge. This hit the autumnal spot!

Thanks a lot ! I cooked this recipe with a shorter kind of pasta and it was very good. Love the addition of walnut. I put a little quantity of balsamic and lemon, i will add more next time ?. Being the only one vegetarian in the family, my loved ones ate the dish with chicken marinated with italian spices. They loved it as well.

Made this last night – delicious & not that hard. My husband, who is not a butternut fan, really liked it as well. Definitely a keeper!
