I love how flexible butternut squash is! In general, it tends to add a sweetness to the dishes it is added to, and in this dish, it pairs very well with the savory of the sausage. However, this sauce is excellent without the sausage too. If you're kids are reluctant to eat butternut squash, give this recipe a try and let me know how it went!

Butternut Squash Pasta with Spinach and Sausage

Also, a good peeler works well for peeling these! And you want to make the pieces as uniformly as you can, to ensure consistent cooking times.

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers, I buy a larger turkey than I need just to ensure I have enough leftovers! White meat is usually reserved for sandwiches and reheated plates, but the real magic involves the carcass and the dark meat. Making stock from scratch can be intimidating, but it's so easy and if you use a big enough pot, you can have homemade stock for months! And there is something magically about turning plain clear water into a golden savory broth!!
