Spaghetti with Butternut squash and prawns

It’s the middle of January and its pretty bleak out there. Its cold, grey and miserable. The dream would be to be able to roll up in my duvet and get on with everyday life, haha. So, I needed to bring a little sunshine in my life and this gorgeous pasta dish just does that. Spaghetti with butternut squash and prawns. The sweetness of the squash with the delicate meaty prawns are panfried harmoniously together.

A handful of ingredients and a short cooking time makes this a great option when in need of a quick dinner to brighten up your day.

Butternut squash does require some prep time. However, supermarkets offer an easy alternative, already peeled and sliced. I like to use Sainsbury’s Butternut Squash Slices, and slice them into strips.
