It turns out they can also be used to make a delicious sauce for pasta.
Giada De Laurentiis shows us how in a recent Instagram reel featured on her lifestyle brand Giadzys page.
The recipebegins with an acorn squash.
She drizzles the squash with extra-virgin olive oil and roasts it until its tender.
De Laurentiis ends the reel with a taste test.
She says the dish is the best of fall, right here, and we agree!
And, once pureed, it becomes incredibly creamy and gives the pasta sauce some body.
Consider halving and scooping out the seeds of the acorn squash the night before.
The garlic and herb mixture can be made one day in advance as well.
