So colorfully appetizing. My dad just dropped off a butternut squash for me from his garden, your post has me excited to use it up.

My family loved this dish. Sage and butternut squash go so well together. This dish was simple to make (peeling the squash was tedious with my dated peeler) yet had a very complex taste to it. I made a lemon pepper pasta with garden sun dried tomatoes, crimini mushroom and parmesan tossed in olive oil. I decided to substitute the olive oil in the squash dish with butter. It all went together so nicely, thank you!

We love the sage/pinenut/garlic combo. Adding the goat cheese is a big plus.Thanks for the tip on peeling the squash. (BTW, a blue cheese vinaigrette dressing is another way to dress up squash –a little crumbled bacon can added, as well!)
