In this blog, I wanted to share a recipe for some Easy Spinach Parmesan Squash Noodles I made the other day.
They are simple to make and include only 5 ingredients, which is great! I was at Whole Foods the other day and came across some butternut squash spirals that looked good to me, so I decided to give them a try. Although I’ve never used butternut squash noodles before, I knew I could find a good recipe on Pinterest. The one I selected, called for zucchini noodles, but I figured substituting squash noodles would work and I am happy to say, the recipe was delicious!
Butternut squash is good for you and includes some healthful ingredients including vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, vitamin E, iron and more. It is also high in antioxidants and helps boost your immune system, which is important this time of year. Give it a try if you are looking for a quick, easy recipe. It would be a good one to add for your Thanksgiving dinner!
Easy Spinach Parmesan Squash Noodles
Butternut squash spirals (10.7 oz. package or make your own)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups packed spinach
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until slightly brown. Add in the butternut squash noodles and spinach. Gently toss and cook until spinach leaves are wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and toss until butternut squash noodles are coated in the Parmesan cheese. Add salt and the ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve warm.
Enjoy!
