Ingredients

The main dish

  • 2 cups cooked butternut squash
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons ghee or palm shortening
  • 2 teaspoons Herbamare
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon allspice

The topping

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • optional green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a small rectangular dish (1.5 quart).
  2. In a blender, puree the cooked butternut, coconut milk, ghee or shortening, Herbamare, paprika, allspice, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta and pour the puree over it, mixing to coat the noodles evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
  5. In a food processor, pulse the almond flour, ghee or shortening, and sea salt until it resembles bread crumbs, then spread over the filling.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes, and broil for a minute if needed to brown the top, keeping a close eye on it.
  7. Optional: sprinkle with green onions before serving.
