Acorn Squash and Kale Pesto Pasta

Acorn Squash and Kale Pesto Pasta

When I go to the grocery store each week, I try to pick up at least one different vegetable than what’s in my normal rotation. This week, i saw acorn squash on sale and brought it home with no idea how I was going to use it! Don’t be afraid to experiment with a new vegetable, and just bring something home and get creative! At home, I had my favorite brand of pesto from my local market and was wanting to make a quick meal without too much prep, clean up, and cook time. I decided to do a little experiment and see how the squash would taste with pasta, kale, and pesto! Even though squash can be a little hard to cut, after you cut it open and put it in the oven, you don’t have to stand around and check on it or stay by the stove, so it’s a great option for an easy veggie that takes minimal prep time.
