Cook this down until the butter browns. 3. Remove sage stems & remove butter from heat. 4. In a blender add squash, browned butter, heavy cream, water, nutmeg & plenty of salt. Blend & adjust taste to your liking. 5. Add more water or less depending on the consistency you’d like. Directions Continued: 1. Cook pasta (follow package instructions & save some pasta water before draining) 2. Chop garlic & shallots 3. In a saucepan add cooking oil, shallots, garlic and sausage. Break down & brown the sausage. 4. In the sausage mix add fresh thyme (I used 4-5 springs of thyme), little bit of salt, and plenty of garlic powder. Mix well & cook thoroughly. 5. Remove sausage mix. In the same saucepan, add butternut squash sauce & reduce the heat to low. 6. Add a little bit of pasta water (if needed), mix it well. Then add cooked pasta & mix it in with the sauce. 7. Add sausage mix to the pasta & freshly grated parmesan cheese. 8.

Did anyone else hate biting into those whole peppercorns or was it just me? 😵‍💫 Chicken adobo is an easy one pot Filipino dish! You can switch out your protein if you’d like & use the same marinade. Tip: if needed, remove the chicken from the pan at the end of cooking process & cook down the sauce until it reduces into a glaze. Ingredients: 6-7 pieces of chicken (legs & thighs) I got the picnic pack of chicken 15 garlic cloves crushed (yes I said 15) Green onions rough chopped (2-3) 1 C vinegar 1/2 C soy sauce 1/3 C dark soy sauce 1/2 C water 3-4 tbsp of palm sugar (you can use whatever sugar you have) Bay leaves (I used about 7 but that’s because I love the flavor) Fresh cracked black pepper White rice Directions: 1. Clean chicken & trim any excess fat 2. In a large bowl add chicken, garlic, sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, water, green onions, black pepper, & bay leaves. 3. Mix well, cover & let it marinate for a few hours or over night. 4. In a braising pot or pan add 1 tbsp of oil & sear chicken for about 2 minutes on each side. If you need to seat in portions do that, to avoid over crowding. 5. Add all chicken back in the pan & add the marinade. 6. Bring the chicken to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover & cook for about 25 minutes (my chicken pieces were small if you have larger pieces cook for about 35). 7. Flip the chicken and baste, then cook for another 25 minutes. The meat should be tender. You want to cook this slow & steady. 8. Once cooked, serve with white rice & top off with green onions & crispy garlic. #food #foodie #explore #explorepage #explorepage✨ #filipino #filipinofood #delicious #chickenadobo #adobo #easymeal #quickmeal #dinnerideas #lunchideas #onepotmeal #chicken
