SPAGHETTI WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND PARMESAN SAUCE
This recipe was adapted from skinnytaste.com. The photo looked so good, I had to make it. I tweaked it a bit and I didn't have leeks, so I used onion instead. But If you have leeks, I would suggest that you use them (I will next time). It was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I have ever eaten. Hope you like it too.
