    curried butternut squash noodles with crispy tofu

    Squash is in season and I am so happy. I love a good butternut squash pasta recipe but I wanted to mix it up. These Curried Butternut Squash Noodles with Crispy Tofu are a fun alternative to your standard butternut squash pasta and so good. These noodles are creamy thanks to cashew butter and packed with anti-inflammatory thanks to turmeric. Even though this recipe takes 30 minutes to make it is very hands off because most of that time is spent with the veggies in the oven. Let's get into the recipe.

    These curried butternut squash noodles are

    • easy to make
    • packed with protein thanks to the tofu
    • healthy for you
    • anti-inflammatory thanks to the turmeric
