Pasta Primavera…Or, “I ate too much meat this weekend”

Well really, who doesn’t love a good pasta primavera?  Primavera means spring in Italian, so I suppose this is supposed to include spring-time veggies? I don’t know.

Butternut Squash Lasagna…or “It has vegetables in it so it must be healthy, right?”

Well, the jury is still out on the dietary pros and cons of this dish. I meant to enter the recipe into a calorie counter, but got too nervous about what the results might be, so it never happened.  I’d venture to guess, however, that it is no worse for you than traditional lasagna and maybe, just maybe, it is better given the addition of squash, which is oh-so-tasty and has plenty of good nutrients and benefits (a girl can dream).  Either way, how can you go wrong with the classic butternut squash and sage combination, especially when you throw in browned butter and cheese!
