  1. I look forward to your recipes and this one looks just as delicious as the others.

    I love anchovies and like the idea of replacing pasta with butternut squash. It's basically a big bowl of your 5 a day!

    1. Thanks. I absolutely agree. Although pasta is a good carbohydrate food, I always find it good to moderate what we eat.

      I also love this recipe because it's quick 'n' easy to make and it's tasty.
