1 cup(s) butternut squash
1/2 cup(s) fresh portabello mushrooms, diced
1 1/2 cup(s) heavy cream
1/2 stick(s) butter
1/2 teaspoon(s) saffron
2 tablespoon(s) brown sugar

1 cup(s) shredded cheese, your choice, used lorraine
LINGUINE
2 package(s) linguine
- water to boil
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, add broth, wine, and squash. Cook covered for 5-10 minutes on medium. Check that all the liquid doesn't evaporate.
  • Add butter, crab, and portabella. Cook for another 3 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and reduce to low simmer. Stir occasionally and keep covered for 20 minutes.
  • Then, boil your linguine to a little tougher than al dente. Drain, and return to pot, with heat on low.
  • Add your sauce to a food processor, puree well.
  • Pour into pot with linguine, and stir occasionally, allowing the sauce to absorb into the pasta.
  • Serve family style. Optionally garnish with fresh basil leaves, toasted pine nuts, and shredded parmigiano-reggiano. Or even paprika, as seen in feature dish.
