Vegetarian Penne Pasta with Butternut Squash, Mushrooms, Scallions, and Goat Cheese
This delicious Vegetarian Penne Pasta with Butternut Squash, Mushrooms, Scallions, and Goat Cheese has just enough goat cheese to add an interesting flavor boost.

I've already confessed to being a butternut squash addict, and I'm always craving it at this time of year.  And even though I wrote a post about How to Peel and Cut Up a Butternut Squash, sometimes I can't resist those package of pre-cut butternut squash that show up at Costco every fall.  This delicious Vegetarian Penne Pasta with Butternut Squash, Mushrooms, Scallions, and Goat Cheese is a recipe I came up with that used half a two-pound package of pre-cut squash with some brown Crimini Mushrooms, a generous amount of chopped scallions, and just enough goat cheese  to keep it interesting.  You can use Feta if you're not a fan of the more pungent goat cheese, and some people might like to add some freshly grated Parmesan at the table.  This recipe does have a few steps, but it's quick enough for an easy week-night dinner, and perfect for Meatless Monday.
