Baked Chicken with Butternut Squash Pasta


There's really not much I can say about this recipe except... it's good!

We love pasta dishes around our house, and we're always looking for new and different ways to make it, and this is one of favorites. Why? Because it combines two of my favorite things... butter and brown sugar! Not to mention, it has some veggies in it too.


Start with sautéing an onion, two bell peppers, and one butternut squash in a skillet with half a stick of butter, and about 3 tablespoons of olive oil


After you get everything in the skillet, throw in a pinch of salt and pepper, and two tablespoons of light brown sugar. Oh yeah.


While all this is going, get your pasta ready! We used eggshell because that's what we had. FYI--Whole Foods has the BEST pasta we've ever put in our mouth.

Here's the recipe! I hope you like it!
