Got Squash?

Squash is such a funny word. SQUASH!!! It reminds me of making playdough animals... only to be SQUASHED upon completion. I digress...

We got squash!

The folks at John Given's Farm are cranking out an absolutely gorgeous assortment of hard winter squashes. Butternut, Delicata, Kabocha, Acorn... I'm loading up on all of em' because the price is great! (around $1/lb)

I know I've been overloading on recipes, but how can I deny great recipes submitted by awesome people?

Here's how Julia (one of our sandwich makers/ clerks) made Butternut Squash & Walnut Pasta.
