Rosemary Butternut Baked Penne

Butternut Penne PlatedSpring in Colorado… the ultimate tease. We had been enjoying warm sunny weather here in Summit County, until Mother’s Day weekend when got about a foot and a half of that wet, branch breaking, flower killing snow. Luckily, I had not planted any of my plants outside yet! Within two days, all the snow has melted and spring is trying to peak its head in. These bi-polar tendencies of Mother Nature in Colorado have made me indecisive on the food I want to eat.Butternut Squash Baked PenneAs much as I want to be eating fresh veggies and light options, I really just want to eat winter comfort food. If you still have some leftover winter squash at home, this is the perfect way to use it up. This is not your average baked pasta dish. The rich sauce clings to the noodles (probably the same way it clings to your hips) and the hint of rosemary ties everything together perfectly. If you don’t have any rosemary, you can also use sage like the original recipe from How Sweet Eats. The boyfriend loved this dish so much, we made it twice in the same week!
