A kind, vegan man who can cook? Hell yeah! I am from Louisiana originally, where men traditionally do most of the cooking. I see these guys out in the world who can barely feed themselves and they just seem so... inept. Derek is awesome!
Derek, I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan, but you're my favorite chef. I've made a few of your recipes and I keep making more and more vegan dishes and honestly, your videos and these recipes have made cooking so much more fun. and your dog is very cute.
I agree, after finding his channel, I have started making a few vegan dinners. I looked for vegan recipes on TH-cam, but a lot of them look the same and they don’t look very appealing , but this channel is amazing.🙌🏻. And I love the way he loves his dog.😊
I have always used and loved Butternut squash, but had been afraid that roasting it whole, would cause it to burst in the oven. Thank you, thank you, for teaching me how to work with it without cutting myself. I have been cooking for my family since I was 13 years old, am 80 now, and learn wonderful techniques from every video you give us. I have been a vegetarian all my life, and now am leaning more toward vegan. Thank you again.
I just always either made butternut squash soup or roasted them in the oven. What great new ideas, which I will definitely try. I have one sitting on my counter. Thank you!
How to avoid politics and the US election 🤔 binge watch Derek Sarno videos and play in the kitchen. Your videos are feeding my spirit and my body may be getting healthier in the process. Thanks for posting ❤ I am virtually borrowing Frankie as my therapy dog along with my therapy plants 😅.
@@SuperBookdragon (look away if you don’t want to think about politics) I’m half way done with writing my 200 “postcards to swing states”. Michelle told me to “do something” so I am. 🩵 ✌️
OMG, I am in love with these butternut squash recipes. I cant express enough how delicious and simple it was to make the squash filets. It's now my go to way to cook butternut squash. And if that wasn't enough, I made the butternut garlic butter. My husband was hesitant to try it but he's use to me cooking up different foods. He loved it, it is so worth making. Today I'm going to make Derek's vegan Chicken Noodle soup with king oyster mushrooms, vlog from a few years ago. Very excited to try this out. Thank you Derek for your recipes and sharing with us on TH-cam, very grateful.
LOVE winter squashes...buttercup, red kuri, etc. I've always baked them and now I can include your ideas which are great. I think all veg are enhanced with roasting...yum.
Amazing food! I am enjoying Frankie’s comments so much. They make me laugh out loud. Such a pleasure to watch a chef cook, as you have great techniques and chef secrets to great food. Thankyou so much.
Love squash, thanks for showing how to making it easier to work with. Butternut I usually roast it cut up alongside onions then stick blend in a pan adding cashew cream and smoked paprika or a couple of canned chipotle peppers. Much easier the way you cooked it whole so I will give that a try as well as the recipe you shared. My actual favorite squash is acorn and I either bake it with a similar sauce that you made or my actual favorite way and it may sound weird to a lot of people but I love to quarter the acorn squash, remove seeds, add a bit of maple syrup and bake it in with sauerkraut until the sauerkraut and squash melt in your mouth. The combo sounds weird but I enjoy it. Love your channel, thanks for sharing and hugs to Frankie!
Try filling and baking your acorn squash with pickled blueberries. The tartness is such a complementary flavor to the sweet squash. I'm going to have to try your sauerkraut idea now. 😋
I love them both and specially but there some really really awesome worthy channels out there..I'm soo bad with remembering names 🫣 This guy from New Orleans?? And and and.. But Derek is special for me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕉
Have just made this and finished and wow.. the flavours! Cannot fathom how the rosemary comes through from just being placed on top of the vegan butter. Another meal that is making our transition to completely plant based so much easier.. I have always been a steak guy, it was my go to meal but this is incredible in flavour and nothing was harmed in the process. With homemade chips and asparagus this is a real winner!
Oh I love butternut! We grow them most years, this year we did honey nut instead and was surprised how small they were! Thank you for these tips, I’ve definitely been doing it all the hard way this whole time.
I hear you about how difficult squashes are to cut raw. What I do that helps is that I use a potato peeler and fully peel the skins off. It goes real quick. Then, I cut it in half, like Derek does in the video here. I scoop out all the seeds with a spoon. Lastly, I take my time and cut them into cubes. Done. But yeah, those suckers are hard to cut into.
When I make soups/stews, I leave the skins on. I got the idea from another chef. I was certainly skeptical at first, but I tried it, and I do it all the time now. Those skins, believe it or not, just melt in your mouth after simmering for a while. I leave the skins on with sweet potatoes, too, when making a soup/stew; they, also, will melt in your mouth.
Wow! Couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen. Didn't want to miss a single thing. Who knew vegan cooking could be so entrancing? The Frankster knew.😄
I'm going to make all of these, I love squash. The nut butter idea is one of the many reasons I love your channel. You provide easy to make crave-worthy food that takes home cooking to a new level in creative ways with zero waste and a kind compassionate spirituality. Plus, Frankie, of course. Thanks again. I love those black plates, they really make the food look like art, in my opinion. You eat with your eyes first, as the saying goes.
Such great timing! I pulled 5 beautiful butternuts out of my garden yesterday, the last of the season. I cannot wait to try these recipes! Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with all of us. Love to you and gorgeous Frankie.
Yummy!! Butternut is the best. Love that prep tip of roasting them whole, Iooks so much easier than what I’ve done 😂. Frankie and our girl Gypsy have such similar demeanors! 🐾 So precious. We lucky humans!!!
Thank you for your video! I braved cooking a butternut squash today and had a lot of fun doing it. I didn't follow your recipe exactly but you helped me see an impossible vegetable in a different light.
I could live on the bread alone, but you make it so much more exciting. My husband is not a squash person, but every now and then he’ll eat it. I’m getting ready to make my pumpkin chili. My carnivorous friend would actually make this chili all the time. I’ve become the unofficial chili queen in our little community and have yet had anyone question “where’s the beef”. Love watching you cook. Thanks for sharing and of course for letting Frankie share the spotlight.
I made both of these tonight for a little get together - absolutely amazing. The garlicky dip is ridiculously good, and the squash rounds are very flavorful without being overly sweet. Great job!
Your recipes are all amazing. I have been vegan most my life. I always look forward to your videos and recreate most of them. Thank you for all you do to help educate a healthy cruelty free way to thrive. Many blessings to you and Frankie. 😊
Derek, I looove your willingness to experiment with simple ingredients. This is a hit in my book! Greetings from Florida! Please give a head scratch to Miss America on my behalf.
Such a valuable video. I am now a butternut super fan, along with one of yours. They call me "crowd"! The good thing about your recipes is that it can be good for anyone even if they aren't vegan. I am vegan, but I know meat eaters that would love all of your cooking. Thanks for the inspiration and the cuteness overload from Frankie. Can't wait for the next!
Derek! The force is strong with you. I swear, when you pulled the knives off the magnetic holder, it sounded like a light saber.😂 Really appreciate all that you do with such loving compassion and passion. Be and stay well💕 P.s. Posted mid watch. I saw your reference towards the end...lol
That spread looks delicious. I never quite know what to do with butternut other than the usual curry so thank you, this is something I look forward to trying out soon. Big hugs to Frankie ❤
Im so glad one of your videos popped up on my YT feed, and I pretty much started cooking a few of your recipes. I prefer eating veges to fruit but all your videos Ive seen has been so appetising and so easy to make. Also most of the foods/ingredients are easily sourced if not in your cupboard already. This is one of main cooking channels ❤❤❤
Love this one so much! I've never enjoyed cooking Butternut Squash unless I buy it precut. Can't wait to try! Thank you Derek! Hugs to you and Miss Frankie! 💚
I am so happy to have found your channel. My mother was my role model when it came to self care after my dad died. She continued to eat healthy. I have joined the group of widowhood and am an empty nester. Although I cook pretty healthy, you are showing me it can also be beautiful. I am learning to modify your recipes so I use what I have on hand. Thank you.
Thank you for teaching us this technique! It has opened the world of butternut squash to me. Also, the best part of your videos is when Frankie gets her kisses! Thank you for sharing her, and thank you for your time and effort. I am learning so much.
Very glad to know this. I bought 3 just this morning. I intended to cook them all together, peel then and freeze them in small portion because I don't like breakfast foods. I was making a black bean and cheese burrito for breakfast the other day and added some butternut squash to it. Yummm. Now I can have some squash ready all the time.
Yum! I love butternut squash for sweet and savory dishes. Such a fabulous recipe for the butternut squash cashew spread and the baked carmel butternut squash! Love it! It is a pain to try to separate the seeds from the membrane when they're wet so what works for me is spreading all the seeds and the membrane on a parchment lined baking sheet and letting them dry in a low temp oven or outside if it's warm enough. Thank you Chef Derek and beautiful Frankie for another fun and delicious video! Wishing you both a wonderful week! 💚🌱
Perfect timing! I've picked so many butternut squash from my garden, and there is more to be picked. New ways for me to use them and that spread looks delish. Can't wait to try it. TY, as always, for sharing and teaching us.
Good day Derek and Frankie!❤️ These recipes look amazing as always and I can't wait to try them. It's perfect fall weather here in Montana and your recipes will go perfect with this beautiful weather! When we used to carve pumpkins when I was a kid we used to take out all the seeds and lay them out flat on newspaper or paper bags and let them dry it's so much easier to sort the seeds out that way. Blessings to you and beautiful Frankie! ❤❤
This has to be my favourite of all your videos! You’ve made butternut beautiful.🧡Love the versatility of sweet/savoury. All options utterly delicious and fabulous ways to enjoy squash to the max this autumn. Butter, sugar & rosemary..wow.✨Divine. Look forward to seeing more! 🫶🏻
Hi Derek & Frankie, Absolutely love your video, thank you so much, you have a very healing serene energy. Just wondering, have you ever thought about doing a Cooking Retreat for young men who are struggling with mental health problems, depression, anxiety etc ? You would be fantastic 🙂
Wow thank you Derek and Frankie for these mouth watering recipes! I just made roasted butternut and onions last week and peeled the butternut for the last time, thanks to you! I never considered roasting the seeds, but I will now. Thanks again!
Great video, Derek! I just bought two butternut squash, and this is much easier than the way I used to cook them. I also have a blue hubbard squash, which I have never tried before. I am going to try this method. You are awesome, and as usual, Frankie stole the show. Love that girl! 🐾💗🐾
This looks amazing- love butternut squash- they will be on our Belgian Christmas week menu- just perfect as a substantial course to cheer up one of those cold foggy rainy nights. Thank you thank you! Your amazing aubergine filets have already been voted in as well!🤩
love seeing what you were able to do with the butternut! I've never even tried one before but I'm really craving one now, especially the recipe you made at the end. Excited to see what else you make with them!
Thank you for sharing new ideas for the Butternut Squash . It’s what’s for dinner tonight . I just made the Butternut Squash butter with the scraps from the squash using black garlic … mmm 😋I highly recommend !
Wonderful once again! I love your videos! I have good success using a wire cheese slicer to remove the skin. The slicer with the wire and the roller in a wishbone shaped handle. And Yes to growing your own herbs. Can be easily done in pots on a balcony even if you don’t have a garden. Thanks for your joy, clever editing and attention to every detail. It is all much appreciated and eagerly devoured! 💜
Derek, I am soooo happy to make recipes you've come up with. Today, I made the butternut squash garlic butter. As a vegan who doesn't do oil, I've missed garlic bread in a big way. Not any more! Thanks a million. This evening, I had the butter on toasted sourdough rye bread. Garlic bread again. Thanks.
I feel like this video is addressed directly to me. I've been making nick pelegrinos/Mangias butternut squash pasta but vegan; and felt like I needed some professional improvements. Thank you so much!
Hi Derek, I'm always thrilled to see a new cooking video from you! Thank you so much for your inspiration and undefatiguable love for vegan cuisine and sweet Frankie. A while back, I saw someone online roast the seeds with th stringy pulp which carmelizes in the oven to crispy perfection! I have tried it several times and it is my new go to. Sharing with you for selfish reasons, for all the extra time you'll have to cook more amazing vegan food for us!! ❤
I love how one can go from a savoury dish to a dessert with just a few touches. Thanks for sharing these recipes and techniques, Derek! Greetings to Frankie :)
Great tips I have a butternut squash on my counter and I am totally going to try this technique. I find it such a pain too cut and get the seeds out before hand
You are really amazing! I subscribe to a ton of vegan channels, always trying to improve my very poor vegan cooking skills, and you have quickly become my favorite!! I was even more interested in your channel when I realized that you are a student of Buddhism, which I am as well. Thank you for all that you do!!
Wow so simple but so thought out!! The presentation w/ the blow torch and the greek yoghurt looks like its a winner for a date, gonna have to think of a side to go w/ 🤔 thanks as always for sharing :)
Great! I’ve always peeled and chopped BEFORE roasting BNS. I’m looking forward to trying this. Right now, I’m on a rutabaga kick, so maybe BNS next week. Frankie is as cute as ever. ♥️
Love butternut roasted, then stuffed with mixture of quinoa, craisins, feta and sliced almonds. Old recipe from Shape magazine; excellent main dish. I never rinse seeds before roasting, love the butternut flavor on them and if you get a string or two, they just add to the flavor!
This was my first ever try of this vegetable, never bought it before or ever cooked it. I made this just now, had to use dry rosemary and used prob more pecans to garnish but this was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I’m having a hard time saving some slices for later!!❤❤❤❤ thank you!!
I recently Subscribed to your channel by accident. Your ingredients are very easy to follow. Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Love veggies!
I love butternut squash. I love Frankie, too. Thanks for sharing Frankie with us. Moreover, thank you for the wonderful recipes. I've never roasted/baked it whole like this. But I'll give it a try. Blessings. Now, backed to the video. 👏👏💯
Hi Derek. I really enjoy butternut soo much. Your beautiful chef brain creates such delish ideas🎉. I love the Brulee idea and the garlic bread. Your parsley looks so good. One of my favorite sandwich fillings is a handful of freshly chopped parsley and marmite on fresh sourdough. I made up a recipe of freshly cooked butternut, onion, garlic, herbs and paprika in a little veg broth, then blitzed with a cup of coconut cream. I then layer with fresh lasagne pasta and top with a savoury crumb made from bagel crumbs, herbs, spring onion, olive oil and nutritional yeast. Bakefor 45 mins. Set aside for 20 mins and serve with crisp green salad. Soooo good, Frankie will love it. Have a good week and take care Gale x
Hey Derek, I‘m making the „Butternut Tenderloin“ tonight and came up with a relatively quick way to get the seeds and stringy bits separated: I used a strainer as well, but a less fine one (something you’d use to drain pasta or wash lettuce). I put a bowl under the strainer, dumped the seeds in and ran my hand through them for a minute or two. That way I pushed the flesh through the strainer and was left with the seeds. Quick rinse and done. Bonus: You can use the purée you just made and there is even less waste. Thank you so much for the recipe idea. I’m hoping it will turn out well 😬
Hi Derek, I had to prep a raw sugar pie pumpkin this morning for a pumpkin stew I'm serving for dinner tonight. I took your challenge to find an easier way to get at the pumpkin seeds, and think it will easily work for the butternut squash as well. After peeling it, I cut the pumpkin in half and, with clean hands, reached in and gently tugged out the seeds. In a minute they were out and the stringy flesh remained almost entirely behind. Seeds are drying now and will be roasted later today!
Thank you for your inspiring videos. Butternut squash is hugely popular here in South Africa. And Hubbard squash. And Frankie is just the cherry on the top 😍
Do you think you could look into doing some research on how a vegan way of eating can help women going through perimenopause and menopause? I'm about a year into perimenopause and I've gradually become almost repulsed by meat. I don't mind fish but red meat, chicken and pork...no. And I recently learned that avacados are great for our brains (which obviously regulates our hormones). Would love if you could offer some recipe ideas for hormonal balance.
Yum! Going to absolutely try the spread! One of my favorite things in the world is butternut squash gnocchi in brown butter sage sauce. My husband and I usually make a big batch when butternuts are in season and freeze to have all winter long.
Hottest and sweetest chef out there! You and Frankie are the best team! Anyone else crushing on Derek?
A kind, vegan man who can cook? Hell yeah! I am from Louisiana originally, where men traditionally do most of the cooking. I see these guys out in the world who can barely feed themselves and they just seem so... inept. Derek is awesome!

It's perfect fall weather here in Montana and your recipes will go perfect with this beautiful weather! When we used to carve pumpkins when I was a kid we used to take out all the seeds and lay them out flat on newspaper or paper bags and let them dry it's so much easier to sort the seeds out that way. Blessings to you and beautiful Frankie! ❤❤
This has to be my favourite of all your videos! You’ve made butternut beautiful.🧡Love the versatility of sweet/savoury. All options utterly delicious and fabulous ways to enjoy squash to the max this autumn. Butter, sugar & rosemary..wow.✨Divine. Look forward to seeing more! 🫶🏻
Awesome, it's such a lovely combo and just sweet enough. That garlic butternut bread is next level with the scraps.
Hi Derek & Frankie, Absolutely love your video, thank you so much, you have a very healing serene energy. Just wondering, have you ever thought about doing a Cooking Retreat for young men who are struggling with mental health problems, depression, anxiety etc ? You would be fantastic 🙂
I love butternut squash and all of the squash(s). I like how Frankie says she owns you! I didn't know that squash seeds were edible!
She does :). Thanks for watching
Pumpkin seeds are really good for you too!
One of Mom’s favorites. I will make it for her this fall. Thanks Derek! 🍁🍁🍁 May the force be with you.
Wow thank you Derek and Frankie for these mouth watering recipes! I just made roasted butternut and onions last week and peeled the butternut for the last time, thanks to you! I never considered roasting the seeds, but I will now. Thanks again!
Great video, Derek! I just bought two butternut squash, and this is much easier than the way I used to cook them. I also have a blue hubbard squash, which I have never tried before. I am going to try this method. You are awesome, and as usual, Frankie stole the show. Love that girl! 🐾💗🐾
I can imagine the flavor of it .. that's so yummy bro ..only Derek.. NYC one ❤️ to Frankie..
So good
Derek you continue to amaze and inspire me! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creativity with us. You are a light on TH-cam.
The toast looks divine and I can't help thinking that pomegranate might go wonderfully with it!
This looks amazing- love butternut squash- they will be on our Belgian Christmas week menu- just perfect as a substantial course to cheer up one of those cold foggy rainy nights. Thank you thank you! Your amazing aubergine filets have already been voted in as well!🤩
love seeing what you were able to do with the butternut! I've never even tried one before but I'm really craving one now, especially the recipe you made at the end. Excited to see what else you make with them!
Thank you for sharing new ideas for the Butternut Squash . It’s what’s for dinner tonight . I just made the Butternut Squash butter with the scraps from the squash using black garlic … mmm 😋I highly recommend !
Wonderful once again! I love your videos! I have good success using a wire cheese slicer to remove the skin. The slicer with the wire and the roller in a wishbone shaped handle. And Yes to growing your own herbs. Can be easily done in pots on a balcony even if you don’t have a garden. Thanks for your joy, clever editing and attention to every detail. It is all much appreciated and eagerly devoured! 💜
What a gorgeous group of dishes! Can’t wait to make them❤ (and Miss America owns me too), thank you as always.
Frankie says hello
Heading up to the farmers market now with your recipes and ingredients list. Thank you!
Derek, I am soooo happy to make recipes you've come up with. Today, I made the butternut squash garlic butter. As a vegan who doesn't do oil, I've missed garlic bread in a big way. Not any more! Thanks a million. This evening, I had the butter on toasted sourdough rye bread. Garlic bread again. Thanks.
I feel like this video is addressed directly to me. I've been making nick pelegrinos/Mangias butternut squash pasta but vegan; and felt like I needed some professional improvements. Thank you so much!
Hi Derek, I'm always thrilled to see a new cooking video from you! Thank you so much for your inspiration and undefatiguable love for vegan cuisine and sweet Frankie. A while back, I saw someone online roast the seeds with th stringy pulp which carmelizes in the oven to crispy perfection! I have tried it several times and it is my new go to. Sharing with you for selfish reasons, for all the extra time you'll have to cook more amazing vegan food for us!! ❤
I love how one can go from a savoury dish to a dessert with just a few touches. Thanks for sharing these recipes and techniques, Derek! Greetings to Frankie :)
Thanks for watching!
Great tips I have a butternut squash on my counter and I am totally going to try this technique. I find it such a pain too cut and get the seeds out before hand
This is the way
You are really amazing! I subscribe to a ton of vegan channels, always trying to improve my very poor vegan cooking skills, and you have quickly become my favorite!! I was even more interested in your channel when I realized that you are a student of Buddhism, which I am as well.
Thank you for all that you do!!
A new favorite. I tried this out for an up coming meal. Exceeded already high expectations. Thank you!
Fantastic ! I will be buying a butternut squash next time I go grocery shopping ! Thank you so much. 💕 and one for Frankie. ❤
Wow so simple but so thought out!! The presentation w/ the blow torch and the greek yoghurt looks like its a winner for a date, gonna have to think of a side to go w/ 🤔 thanks as always for sharing :)
Great! I’ve always peeled and chopped BEFORE roasting BNS. I’m looking forward to trying this. Right now, I’m on a rutabaga kick, so maybe BNS next week. Frankie is as cute as ever. ♥️
Yummy! I love butternut squash, acorn Squash too! I’m definitely going to make this! Thank you Derek! Hi Miss America 💚
I love the ring mold trick!! this video is a treasury of valuable technique!
Yahoo! Great to have a few new ideas for butternut squash. I have a bumper crop just harvested from my garden. So thanks!
Love butternut roasted, then stuffed with mixture of quinoa, craisins, feta and sliced almonds. Old recipe from Shape magazine; excellent main dish. I never rinse seeds before roasting, love the butternut flavor on them and if you get a string or two, they just add to the flavor!
I came for the recipes and stayed for Frankie.
This was my first ever try of this vegetable, never bought it before or ever cooked it. I made this just now, had to use dry rosemary and used prob more pecans to garnish but this was absolutely DELICIOUS!! I’m having a hard time saving some slices for later!!❤❤❤❤ thank you!!
I recently Subscribed to your channel by accident. Your ingredients are very easy to follow. Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Love veggies!
I love butternut squash. I love Frankie, too. Thanks for sharing Frankie with us. Moreover, thank you for the wonderful recipes. I've never roasted/baked it whole like this. But I'll give it a try. Blessings. Now, backed to the video. 👏👏💯
Sweet, thank you
Thanksgiving is on Monday in Canada so great timing 😊
Hi Derek. I really enjoy butternut soo much. Your beautiful chef brain creates such delish ideas🎉. I love the Brulee idea and the garlic bread. Your parsley looks so good. One of my favorite sandwich fillings is a handful of freshly chopped parsley and marmite on fresh sourdough. I made up a recipe of freshly cooked butternut, onion, garlic, herbs and paprika in a little veg broth, then blitzed with a cup of coconut cream. I then layer with fresh lasagne pasta and top with a savoury crumb made from bagel crumbs, herbs, spring onion, olive oil and nutritional yeast. Bakefor 45 mins. Set aside for 20 mins and serve with crisp green salad. Soooo good, Frankie will love it. Have a good week and take care Gale x
Thank as for always cooking and supporting

Hey Derek, I‘m making the „Butternut Tenderloin“ tonight and came up with a relatively quick way to get the seeds and stringy bits separated: I used a strainer as well, but a less fine one (something you’d use to drain pasta or wash lettuce). I put a bowl under the strainer, dumped the seeds in and ran my hand through them for a minute or two. That way I pushed the flesh through the strainer and was left with the seeds. Quick rinse and done. Bonus: You can use the purée you just made and there is even less waste.
Thank you so much for the recipe idea. I’m hoping it will turn out well 😬
Hi Derek, I had to prep a raw sugar pie pumpkin this morning for a pumpkin stew I'm serving for dinner tonight. I took your challenge to find an easier way to get at the pumpkin seeds, and think it will easily work for the butternut squash as well. After peeling it, I cut the pumpkin in half and, with clean hands, reached in and gently tugged out the seeds. In a minute they were out and the stringy flesh remained almost entirely behind. Seeds are drying now and will be roasted later today!
Hey Derek, again you made my day with your inspiring recipes and your good vibes! Cheers.
Thank you for your inspiring videos. Butternut squash is hugely popular here in South Africa. And Hubbard squash. And Frankie is just the cherry on the top 😍
Do you think you could look into doing some research on how a vegan way of eating can help women going through perimenopause and menopause? I'm about a year into perimenopause and I've gradually become almost repulsed by meat. I don't mind fish but red meat, chicken and pork...no. And I recently learned that avacados are great for our brains (which obviously regulates our hormones). Would love if you could offer some recipe ideas for hormonal balance.
Yum! Going to absolutely try the spread! One of my favorite things in the world is butternut squash gnocchi in brown butter sage sauce. My husband and I usually make a big batch when butternuts are in season and freeze to have all winter long.
Now I know what I'm bringing to the holiday party for my movie club! Thanks Derek, love your videos and your recipes. THANKS!
Hi Derek! I just tried this, and I will never cook squash any other way! Thanks again! Hugs and kisses to Frankie!
