Once fall comes around everyone gets into the pumpkin mood… lattes, soups, desserts, you name it.  As much as I love pumpkin, I love butternut squash just a bit more, especially during this time of the year.  Mind you, sadly, there is no autumn in Miami, however, it’s just a state of mind. Recently, I decided to search up some butternut squash recipes, I was thinking of making something new for Thanksgiving, perhaps a casserole, and I found some really delicious recipes that I wanted to share with all of you.

Butternut Squash Soup I am a soup lover, so when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it.  It’s pretty simple and it tastes great.

Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Sage Brown Butter Gnocchi is my favorite type of pasta.  I love it with almost every type of sauce possible, so when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it.  I am looking forward to making this very soon!

Roasted Butternut Squash with Herb Oil and Goat Cheese  This is a healthy, light dish which is very easy to make.  Makes for a great appetizer or salad prior to a nice meal.

Butternut Squash Risotto I also love a good risotto. I admit I have never tried making risotto because it’s a bit above my culinary level (LOL), but I am willing to try and make this one, it looks delicious!

Butternut Squash Lasagna  Who doesn’t love lasagna?  I have tried many lasagnas in my life (Italian food is my favorite, if you can’t tell by now), but I have never tried one like this.  Also makes a great option for a vegetarian dish.
