"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

« Butternut Squash and Kale Farfalle »

This was not fun to make with limited kitchen utensils. Peeling and cubing the behemoth butternut squash took the length of a Rachel Maddow podcast and bruised the inside of my index finger. I only used half of it because the other half is currently simmering in winter lamb stew, yet I still had to sauté it in two batches. It tastes great though, and I would do it again. We'll see if a another shows up in my produce box from Boston Organics next week.

Here's the recipe: Basically, I tossed red onions and cubed squash in olive oil, garlic, and sage and baked it in the oven at 340 degrees until I could stick a fork in the biggest piece. I boiled the farfalle in salted water and added the kale right before the pasta was done. After draining them well, I tossed them in the baking pan with the squash. Then I sautéed it all together in hot oil and more sage. I added parmigiano at the end, took a picture, and started eating!
