February 2012

This month we transform everyday spaghetti sauce & celebrate the winter Butternut Squash abundance. This is a fantastic sauce to store in your freezer. An alternative to traditional tomato sauce, it can be used over any pasta and can be combined with shrimp, scallops, or beef or chicken. Stock up & have on hand for a new spin on lasagna or dress up your spaghetti dinner nights at home! Enjoy!
