Pappardelle with Butternut Squash


Thanksgiving is upon us and you need to bring a side dish to the family meal.  If you're tired of the same old things, give this dish a try for fabulous fall flavor!  Only 5 ingredients to find and less than 30 minutes of  your time.


You'll Need:
1 Medium butternut squash peeled and cubed
2 Tbl Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
8 Oz Pappardelle Noodles
12 Tbl Unsalted Butter
1 C Walnuts toasted and lightly chopped
3 C Baby Kale

Toss the butternut squash with olive oil, salt and pepper then back for 20 minutes (until tender) at 375*.

While your squash bakes, boil your noodles until al-dente' then rinse and drain.

Heat butter in a large skillet until it begins to foam and brown, toss in squash, noodles and walnuts.  Toss well, add baby kale and cook until the kale begins to wilt.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This entire dish takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.  I buy my squash already prepped and it SO worth it.  That is the best time saver ever!  This reheats easily in the microwave if you need to make it in advance.

Share this with those you love and don't get stressed out about cooking this Thanksgiving!
