My husband had a delicious Butternut Squash Ravioli at Macaroni Garden a few months ago. I enjoyed his food so much that I attempted to replicate it almost immediately at home. My first attempt was good enough that my entire family raved about it. But, I forgot to take pictures, I didn’t time the meal real well and some things were cold, and a couple things needed improvement. So, I worked out a few kinks and waited a few weeks. This time I took pictures. Here are the instructions for the resulting recipe.

Butternut Squash Diced with Onions in Skillet (image)

Start by peeling a butternut squash. Once you have it peeled, slice off the top just as it starts to flare out. This is the part you will be cooking with. Throw the seedy part away. Divide the butternut squash in half. One half will get a very small dice. The other half can be chopped into chunks to be boiled. Place the chunks into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes.

Butternut Squash Diced

While you are waiting for the boil, dice an onion the same size as your diced butternut squash. Take a moment now for putting water onto boil for your ravioli. I purchased frozen ravioli and I think that turns out very delicious. It takes a while for the water to boil, but you won’t want to cook your ravioli until the very end. Once your water is on to boil, throw the onions in hot oil and sautee for a couple minutes. Add the diced butternut squash and three cloves of minced garlic. This can be fresh or from a jar in your refrigerator. Also add coarse kosher salt and pepper. Sautee with occasional stirring until the butternut squash is cooked through and browning a bit. While you are sauteeing this, you can remove your boiled butternut squash and drain it. Put 1 Cup of heavy whipping cream in the empty hot sauce pan with three tablespoons of butter. Cook it until the butter is melted and it begins to thicken a bit. That takes just about two minutes. Check your pasta water and throw those raviolis in if the water is boiling. Add 1 Cup of the drained butternut squash to your hot cream sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes. Add a pinch of nutmeg. Then puree the sauce.

At this point your diced squash and your sauce is finished. Grate two cups of parmesan and put half of the parmesan in a bowl for serving at the table.

Grated Parmesan Cheese

Remove the pasta from the heat as soon as it is done (about five minutes according to package directions) and drain it. Toss the pasta with the sauce, a cup of parmesan and more kosher salt and pepper.

Serve the pasta with a nice helping of diced butternut squash and onions and a sprinkling of parmesan on top.  You can serve this with a nice crunchy bread and a salad.  Delicious cheesiness!

[Please note that I doubled the sauce recipe for my large family, and the diced butternut squash and onion will make enough for a double recipe. If you followed the recipe above, you can save half the diced veggie mix in your freezer for next time, and you also have an extra cup or more of the boiled butternut squash to save for next time.]

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
