Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

Butternut squash is one of our favorite veggies for pasta night. It’s creamy, meaty, filling, and full of nutrients. Fresh shallots add a sweet and savory quality to this dish that’s unmatched. Fresh mozzarella melts into the pasta, making this feel like an elegant and veggie-filled take on mac and cheese.

Chef Tip: Salt your pasta water until it tastes similar to tears or the sea, this will ensure your pasta is well seasoned. And remember, most of this water gets tossed out when you drain the pasta, so don’t worry about the dish becoming too salty.

Glug

Many of our recipes also call for a glug of oil, often when heating oil in a pan or lightly dressing vegetables before roasting. We don’t expect you to pull out a measuring spoon every time you go to cook (but if you want to, that’s ok!) so we estimate a glug is about 2 tablespoons worth of oil.

Pinch

A pinch of salt is a generous three fingered pinch, and equates to about ⅛ of a teaspoon of kosher or sea salt.
