Don’t you just love Butternut Squash? I certainly do, I think I could eat it everyday. I love it’s wholesome sweetness, and firm texture making it great for roasting. I’ve got a lot of Butternut Squash recipes. Some of my favourite’s are roast squash with Chickpeas and Tahini dressing, soup, raw in salads and I think it’s very good in spicy dishes like my Butternut Squash, Lentil & Peanut Stew. This is a my latest Butternut Squash creation, it’s super simple just baked and filled with delicious kale pesto and then sprinkled with toasted walnuts. Also amazing with dukka My kale pesto is amazing – you’ve got to try it. I’ve used walnuts instead of pine nuts this time. Did you know you can create any number of pesto’s by mixing and matching different nuts, seeds, herbs or leaves. Some of my favourites are; spinach and walnuts & rocket and almond. The added secret ingredient is nutritional yeast which adds a deliciously cheesy flavour. Talking of nutritional yeast, I’ve just used it to create the most amazingly ‘cheesy’ cashew cheese – recipe will be up soon! 
I'd love to know if you made this recipe.
