"KETO: Kabocha Squash Cream Sauce w/ Crispy Pancetta and Fried Sage on Miracle Noodle Angel Hair (recipe below!) - this is a KILLER recipe to bust out when you want to re-purpose leftover roasted squash or pumpkin!

There are usually all kinds of leftover roasted veggies that die in the fridge, don’t let that happen! This squash when puréed is beautifully velvety, and it works perfectly as a pasta sauce. With pine nuts, Parmesan, pancetta, fried sage... it gives you that “dayuuuum, did I just make this??” response with very little effort."
