Dinner
Butternut Squash Rigatoni plus Goat Cheese
This dish took many different forms in my brain before I actually cooked it. I started out with the intention
- Serves 2
- Prep 5 minutes
- Cook 10 minutes
- Total 15 minutes
Additionally (because apparently I need to justify my culinary decisions out loud today), I was thinking that it had been entirely too long since B.Britnell featured Goat Cheese. We all need more goat cheese in our lives. This is a simple fact of life.
Onion and squash are chopped and herbs added.
And it’s sauteed while the pasta cooks.
Once it’s all done, add the pasta to the veggies
Stir in cheese and a bit of S&P and you’re ready to enjoy!
