Butternut Squash Patties

This is Matt's recipe and they're the best things ever! He made them for lunch and since this is partly how I keep my recipes, I'm putting it up pretty quickly.

• Sage (chopped finely)
• Butternut squash cubes
• Salt/pepper
• Gram Masala
• Sesame seeds
• Panko bread crumbs
• Green onion (chopped finely)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash in oven-safe dish and coat with olive oil.
2. Roast squash 40 minutes.
3. Mash roasted squash.
4. Add salt, pepper, gram masala, sage, onions and sesame seeds. Mix well.
5. Add breadcrumbs, mix well and form into patty.
6. In a saute pan on medium heat, add patty and brown on both sides.

Sweet Herbed Pasta

I'm sure I've gone over how much I love sweet potatoes and Italy and pasta. Viola!

Servings: 2

2 small sweet potatoes
1 oz. chopped fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon dried Italian spice blend
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, divided
1 1/2 oz. spaghetti
1 clove garlic
olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Chop sweet potatoes and toss in olive oil and Italian spice blend.
2. Drain excess oil, sprinkle on half of the rosemary and put in to roast, about 20 minutes.
3. make pasta.
4. Meanwhile, saute fresh sage, rosemary and garlic.
5. Combine.

One of my favorite preparations of this pasta replaces sweet potatoes with butternut squash and adds butternut squash pasta sauce. I use Dave's, but you should try this recipe from food network.
