Sauteed Orange Squash and Broccolini! Seriously easy and delicious. Sometimes I feel like the simplest dishes can get brushed off and overlooked. DO NOT overlook this recipe! The bright citrus paired with the savory garlic and sage is pretty much the most amazing flavor combo ever. Oh and it is: prepped, cooked and served in less than 25 minutes. Yes, we are certainly winning over here!
I am also loving how versatile and forgiving this Sauteed Orange Squash and Broccolini recipe is as far as ingredient swaps.
Here are some great ideas to accommodate taste and what you might have on hand:
Acorn Squash for butternut squash.
Brussel Sprouts (my favorite) for brococcolini
Pasta or Couscous for quinoa.
Add a little rotisserie chicken or sausage for added protein or to please the carnivore in your family. 😉
This Sauteed Orange Squash and Broccolini recipe is savory, yet surprisingly filling. Perfect for those busy winter weeknights. Super healthy, yet comforting.
Plus is has ingredients that are in season and that you also most likely have on hand.
Enjoy!
