I lust after the Green Mill Butternut Squash Pasta and decided to tackle making it for myself at home. I studied the menu description and from there went searching for appropriate recipes.
I found a few and put them all together to make it happen. I already had a jar of garlic Parmesan sauce so that was covered. Although, I did find this recipe and I think I'll use it next time I make this (the bottled stuff had a weird texture and the taste was off). It also gave me the idea to boil the sun dried tomatoes with the pasta.
The filling. It made a lot more than my wrappers would hold. I may make some more and freeze them.
I used this recipe for the filling. I added about a cup more squash, because I didn't think it had enough flavor. They also recommend using wonton wrappers for the dough which I had a very difficult time finding.
Assembling the layers: wrapper, filling, water to seal, wrapper.
Filled shells ready to go into the hot water.
Finished product, hot pasta, sauce, sun dried tomatoes and extra Parmesan on top. Just missing some asparagus, but it's not in season. It was delicious and satisfying. If not a little stuck together. Yum.
