There are days I forget that simple can be better.

So many times I feel like I load pasta down with heavy sauces or too many ingredients and I loose site of the simplicity of pasta.

This dish is made great by simple roasting, toasting, and melting.  I think what also makes this great is the flavor of organic butter.  If you haven’t tried organic butter- splurge, the taste is amazing.

I think I have overloaded my site with butternut but that’s not a bad thing!

    Can’t wait to make this dish! Here’s a tip to make clean-up easy too: line your baking sheet with foil!

      I almost always use something to cover my baking tray but I bought a baking mat so I could re-use it! Makes cleaning up a breeze!

    I’m college student and I just made this after one of my finals. I didn’t have any walnuts but it was still fantastic. It was just the pick-me-up I needed to get back to studying! Also I used bow tie pasta because that was all I had and the presentation was great. it was a pretty AND a tasty dish!

    Made this for dinner tonight for my omni hubby & best friend (who is pickier than a child) & we all loved it! Subbed Italian seasoning for rosemary (have none) & doubled the recipe. Absolutely amazing!!
