Pre-packaged "convenience" foods are not always beneficial to a healthy diet. However, this recipe features one time-saving convenience ingredient that won't have any negative health consequences. You can find pre-packaged butternut squash noodles in most larger grocery stores and they are perfect for those nights when you need to get dinner on the table quickly.

If you are a KitchenAid Mixer owner, I highly recommend getting the spiraler attachement (aff link) so that you can make your own butternut squash “noodles” in just a few minutes. Either way, you’re going to love this fast and delicious dish!

Ingredients

  • ¼ c. extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 c. pre-packaged butternut squash “noodles”
  • 2 T. fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 t. ground cinnamon
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1

Heat two tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add butternut squash noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently to ensure they cook evenly. When noodles are slightly softened, remove from pan and set aside. Keep warm.

2

Add remaining olive oil to pan, along with chopped sage and cinnamon. Cook until fragrant, approximately 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

3

Return butternut squash noodles to pan and toss to coat in sage-cinnamon mixture. Remove from heat and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

4

Serve immediately with your favorite entrée or as a light main course.
