Tasty Tips
Make prep easy by purchasing pre-cut butternut squash sold in the refrigerated section of the produce department. Butternut squash has a hard, tough skin that needs to be peeled before seeding and cubing.
Brown butter adds a delicious nutty flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. It is a result of the milk solids being toasted until browned. Always stir and watch butter closely during browning as it will burn quickly.
For 2 servings, this recipe can easily be cut in half.
Serve with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for a flavour boost.
