Ingredients

Instructions
Stovetop Instructions
- Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the butternut squash noodles and cook for 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your noodles, stirring occasionally with tongs until they are fork tender.
- Season the noodles with salt and pepper, grate parmesan cheese on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.

Oven Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place noodles on a large baking sheet. Add garlic, butter, salt and pepper, and roast until fork-tender and golden in spots—about 10-15 minutes, depending on how soft you'd like the noodles. Toss halfway through.
- Grate parmesan cheese on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge, but the consistency is best if eaten the first day.
- Freezing Instructions: If you'd like to freeze the butternut squash noodles, I recommend doing so before cooking them. You can freeze in a freezer safe container or bag for up to 3 months.
- Equipment: I use the Paderno Spiralizer to create the butternut squash noodles. It's strong and sturdy and can handle the large size of the squash.
