I looked at the ingredients in our fridge and didn't know what to cook for dinner. We had a butternut squash, a small amount of uncooked mild Italian sausage, and a bunch of veggies. I googled it and found this recipe from Paleo Running Momma.
It turned out pretty well actually! Pretty good for using up what was in our fridge and getting a hot meal on the table for dinner.
I used 1 butternut squash, handful of baby bella mushrooms, an onion, several cloves of garlic, a bundle of spinach, 1 honey crisp apple, some pecans, dried thyme and rosemary, and some hand shredded mozzarella. It was litterally bits and pieces of what I could find lying around, so feel free to substitute with what you have. Normally we don't really put fruit in our entrees, but the cooked apple tasted good and the chopped pecans gave it a nice crunch!
I would say it's a nice cozy fall recipe, maybe because orange squashes make me think of pumpkins and October. But it's January so nevertheless, it's a good recipe for when squashes are in season, it's cold outside, and you want something warm in your belly.
Would cook again!
