On Monday morning, lying in bed and catching up on my blog reading after a happy and busy weekend with friends, I saw this post from Cookie and Kate, and was immediately obsessed. I spent the rest of the day thinking about various versions of the creamy butternut squash linguine, and by the time I stopped at the store on the way home from work I had reversed all of Kates healthy twists to the dish and it had morphed into a full blown, decadent carbonara in my mind. Which, it turns out, is how the folks over at Bon Appetit had originally published it anyway. Theres no denying that Im a fat kid at heart give me the opportunity to cover pasta in fried salty bits and cheese and heavy cream and Ill go all out  and then hide the rest of the leftovers to help keep my vegan challenge going strong.

If it makes you feel better, serve it with gently sauteed bitter greens, like broccoli rabe or mustard greens the bitterness is a perfect counterpoint for the sweetness of the roasted squash and the saltiness of the pancetta. And enjoy it One of winters redeeming qualities is the comfort food it inspires, so if eating food like this is what gets you through the lingering cold, go for it.
