This was our lunch today.
Curried Butternut Squash Pasta Plate!
Seasonally appropriate, isn’t it?
I love the farmers market this time of the year.
There are already many different types of fall squash displayed, and they are so beautiful.
The creamy curry flavored squash sauce was poured over whole wheat pasta and served with crispy fried onion and fresh cilantro.
Isn’t this golden colored sauce pretty?
This beautiful farm to table plate was complete with freshly sauteed green beans that I also picked up at the farmers market this morning.
