Take-out Tuesday, Butternut Squash Noodles with Mushrooms & Prosciutto

This dish is simple to put together,

can be made ahead of time,

and it is sure to delight your taste buds

Butternut squash noodles, sauteed mushrooms and prosciutto,

combined with just enough Alfredo sauce to hold together

and finished with Parmesan and fresh rosemary

*sigh*

Spiralized vegetables are now widely available in grocery stores,

and even though I do have a spiralizer,

butternut squash is not the easiest vegetable to cut

and I try to always buy it already cubed or in this case spiralized

Put the noodles on a parchment paper lined baking sheet

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper

Roast at 400 degrees for 7 minutes,

then transfer the noodles to a prepared baking dish

Saute mushrooms in a skillet with a little oil and butter until golden

Put mushrooms into dish with noodles

and quickly saute prosciutto to render fat and crisp a little

Add prosciutto to the baking dish

Toss everything around to combine

Pour Alfredo sauce over noodle mixture and add shaved Parmesan

Mix all together

Dish can be covered and refrigerated at this point and baked later

Bake at 350, loosely covered for 15-30 minutes

{time will depend on temperature of dish when baking}

Garnish with fresh rosemary and parsley

Serve it up!

Makes a wonderful side or main dish meal

    Love this amazing mouth watering recipe. It is a pain chopping these squash but rewarded with amazing taste. I’m always forgetting to pick up spiralized veggies. I do love them for a pasta substitute as well. I’m sure this dish was gone in no time. Missing you…….

  4. What a vibrant and beautiful dish!

    I love the idea of this! I have such a handy gadget that I use for making spiralized zucchini, but buying the squash is so easy! Thank you for the recipe, this will be such a great meal on a slightly cooler fall evening. xo Lidy

  9. I am saving this recipe. I am doing a keto diet and think this would be great. Looks yummy, without the mushrooms, I don’t like those but everything else I do.

    Sounds delish Jenna!!

  11. I’m going to have to be in the lookout for spiralized butternut squash, perfect in a fall dish like this.

    I need to get out more. I didn’t know you could buy spiralized butternut squash! It looks like a delicious dish!

    • Yes, it makes this dish a breeze to make! I actually offered to make a big dish of this for my daughter’s recent dinner party. Her guests raved about it and asked for the recipe to make for Thanksgiving, so I felt great about that!
