  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 8 ounces portebello mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups butternut squash

How To Make squash chicken and pasta

  • Step 1
    Season chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and cut into 1 inch chunks. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and cook chicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan and melt over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms and garlic and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until veggies begin to soften.
  • Step 3
    Cook and mash butternut squash. Add flour and cook, stirring often for 4 minutes. This is important to cook the flour so that the flour taste won't linger. Add squash, cream and stock, italian seasoning, lemon juice and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper; continue cooking for 6 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Remove pan from heat and stir in cheese. Serve over hot linguini.
