Put in skillet to begin sautee with olive oil. Add the minced garlic.Add butternut squash to processor and pulse to fine dice/mince. Add to skillet.

Cover the stock pot and keep it at a medium-low setting to simmer.Cover and simmer a minimum of an hour. Longer is better - I did mine for three hours.Use over pasta or in lasagna, etc. You can add salt or pepper at the end. Recommend - if you think it needs salt - instead adding a few more tablespoons of balsamic vinegar (one at a time) as the acid make wake up the flavor without adding the same sodium.Number of Servings: 24Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WENDEP.
