This calls for 1 large butternut squash. Is it really only for one person or can you separate that into at least 4 servings? I haven’t spiralized a squash yet so I’m not sure of the yield. Thanks!

My wonderful husband just made this for dinner. It tastes absolutely wonderful. It was our first time making our own roasted red pepper sauce, and we love it. Thank you!

In reply to Melissa. When I have to spiralize a hard vegetable like butternut squash or rutabega I just microwave If first until a little softer. It tried it with a rutabega and I did it a couple of minutes. I tried it and still too hard. I did it another minute or two and it worked great. Let it cool off though. The good thing about those hard noodles is they hold up really well. Those noodles from the harder vegetable are really great. My husband prefers them!

Hello, I am totally in love with your website, I think it is fantastic! I have a question about spiralizing a butternut squash. Do you have any tricks to make the “noodles” come out more separated? Mine seem to come out stuck together and its kind of difficult to separate them. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Ali, the past two times I have tried to spiralize a butternut squash, I can’t get the spiralizer to turn. It’s like the squash is too hard or something. The handle just spins but the squash doesn’t move. Have you ever had this happen with a butternut squash? The first couple of times I did it, it worked fine. I’m wondering if the last few haven’t been ripe enough??? Thanks so much for any advice you have. Your website ROCKS!!!

I just got a spiralizer because I was recently diagnosed with a digestive disorder known as Gastroparesis. I also am a Type 1 diabetic, so a meal of pasta is not in my wheelhouse. This recipe is going on my menu this weekend for sure! I will have to peel the peppers after roasting, but that’s easy. I will also post my results on my blog. Thanks SO much for some wonderful ideas for foods I can actually eat! I can’t wait to try zucchini too!

I just bought a spiralizer and your site was the inspiration. I follow the McDougall low fat plant based program, so I made some modifications. No oil, no chicken, sub veggie broth for chicken stock. I also used shallots instead of the onion since I had some that I needed to use. I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper to keep the noodles from sticking. I loved the dish. Very intense flavors. I’m excited to try more of your recipes. I have more butternut squash to use (I bought two since it is the end of the season and I love them). I also bought a ton of zucchini. I can’t wait.
