This was quick and easy once the butternut squash is cooked, and really tasty!
I used egg noodles instead and no parm to make this dairy free. It was fantastic!
This dish was crying out for a cream sauce to tie it all together.
I didn't really care for this one. It's not bad, but the flavors just didn't seem to work together.
Used mushroom ravioli. It was a good mix of flavors.
Not bad but just wasn't great. I found the "sauce" not flavorful or plentiful enough. Could have used a little acid, maybe, to brighten up the flavor. Salad was delicious.
