Notes
- TIP: If using the whole butternut squash, use 2 ½ cups of chicken broth or enough until you achieve a creamy texture. Double the amount of pasta used or freeze half the butternut squash feta sauce for later.
- STORAGE: Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until fully heated through. You may want to stir in some extra chicken broth to loosen the sauce a little.
