Although it’s over 20 days away, the start of November has me counting down the days until I’m home for Thanksgiving break – which lots of delicious family meals! One of the clearest tastes of fall for me is the taste of squash – a super versatile fruits start showing up at the farmer’s market and in grocery stores this time of the year, which means fall cooking has begun. I love the easy addition of delicata squash to pasta with brown butter, but as you’ll find below, there are so many different ways to use squash (pumpkin included) in fall dishes, both savory and sweet. There are a few desserts in the roundup, but the butternut squash tart with apricot jam and pecans is really calling my name. Oh, and in case you were just as confused as I was on the difference between a squash and a pumpkin, Food52 is here to explain… I can’t wait to try out some of these dishes when I’m home at the end of the month – have you started cooking with squash this season?
