I love spiralizing my veggies whenever I can. Lately I’ve been on a Butternut Squash kick, so I decided to spiralize one and make a pasta dish out of it!
The key to spiralizing Butternut Squash is to cut the round, fat end on the bottom of the squash off. Then take the top end or the neck as I like to call it, peel the skin off with a pairing knife, then spiralize it.
Depending on what type of spiralizer you use depends on the blade setting. I use the Inspiralized spiralizer and used blade D which is the smallest blade setting.
Honestly I think next time I make this I’ll use blade C to make the noodles slightly bigger, because they shrunk a lot after roasting them in the oven. But it’s totally your preference on what size noodles you want to use.
I hope you love these Butternut Squash Noodles with Bacon and Sage as much as I did! They’re:
- Easy to make
- Savory
- Salty
- Flavorful
- and Totally Drool Worthy!
