    This recipe came to be when I found myself with half a butternut squash and a whole bunch of random produce that needed to be used up before it all spoiled. I was a little leery of combining tomatoes with the squash at first, but I'm so glad I did, because it went together beautifully!

    This dish has it all - creamy, caramelized butternut squash, slightly crispy broccolini, sweet baby bell peppers, tangy white wine vinegar and juuuust enough garlic. Plus a touch of truffle salt.

    Woah, Nelly.

    I need to get bold with combining odds and ends from my produce drawers more often! This is a very worthy addition to this year's 12 Weeks of Winter Squash celebration. Can you believe it's already halfway over?!
