Farfalle with Butternut Squash

The squash took twice as long to roast completely.  I substituted feta in place of the parmesan.  The family was just ho hum for this.  We really prefer CL's Bacon and Butternut Pasta from March 2010.  Not vegetarian, obviously, but this dish tonight really seemed to lack some flavor.

Nothing bland about this dish. My store doesn't stock white balsamic vinegar, so when recipes call for it I always use the regular balsamic. Followed recipe, except for adding a dash of salt to the balsamic sauce during the simmer and using regular Parmesan cheese. Served with the browned butter lemon Brussels sprouts pictured above, which went well with this Satisfying meatless meal.

I substituted a few things because of what I had available- I used white wine instead of balsamic, dried sage, and toasted almonds instead of the walnuts and it was fantastic.

I don't know why this got such high marks - I thought it was very bland - will not make again.

This was really good, but not 5 stars.

Ridiculously good!!

I made this last night and it was excellent. I used regular balsamic (makes sauce a little darker but not overly so.) Don't leave out the vinegar...it is key. I used torn arugula instead of parsley and would highly recommend this. I added a sprinkle (maybe 1/4C) of goat cheese along with the parm at the end, and it gave the dish a wonderful creamy richness. Also loved the toasted walnuts. Would highly recommend.
