Butternut squash is so versatile it accommodates soups, salads, pasta, tarts, curries, chillis and even desserts. Its sweet nutty taste pairs wonderfully with cheese, mushrooms, kale, spinach, fruits, sage & rosemary.
With a gorgeous orange flesh naturally rich in beta carotene, vitamin Bs, potassium and fibre, butternut squash is an essential Winter vegetable.
Because of its very hard skin, you might find butternut squash hard to peel. Personally, I swear by my wonderful vegetable peeler from Ikea but The Huffington Post offers a different method perfect if you have a microwave.

Thank you so much for sharing my salad in your roundup!
It’s a lovely dish. Really enjoyed it!
I’ve made your zucchini fettuccine with butternut squash crepe sauce before and it was delicious. I would like to make it for a friend of mine but for some reason the link says the page in longer available. Would you be able to send me the recipe? Thank you!
Hi Jessica,
The recipe is not mine but from Sonnet’s Kitchen. The site seems to have issues connecting right now but the recipe can be found here http://www.divinemrsdiva.com/2014/02/diva-in-kitchen-zucchini-fettuccine.html or here https://www.theelementsofliving.com/recipe/zucchini-fettuccine-with-rosemary-butternut-creme-sauce/.
I hope this helps.
