Simply In Season: Linguini with Butternut Squash, Mushrooms, & Spinach

On my last night home I wanted to cook my family a nice meal so I whipped up this butternut squash linguini recipe. I had originally made and tried it a few weeks ago and loved it so much I had to share. I followed this recipe that originally called for farfalle but you can really use any pasta. Because my father is such a carnivore, (seriously, he doesn't think it's a meal without meat) I wanted to add in some bacon for him to make it a bit more hearty. Simply sautee some shallots and bacon and throw it into the mix you've already created. Small addition, big difference, and manly man approved.
