Spaghetti With Roasted Butternut Squash image

Garlic takes on a mild and somewhat sweet flavor when roasted, and in this dish you roast the garlic and the butternut squash at the same time. It's a good way to use squashes that come into season in the fall.

This recipe was a waste of time. The butternut squash was undercooked and the spaghetti was overcooked. The sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The butternut squash was roasted perfectly and the spaghetti was cooked perfectly, but the sauce lacked flavor. I added some extra spices and it helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have li
