I'm not much for sweet sauces, but this is not too sweet while adding a nice healthier alternative to the pasta base. I would say that even a third of a butternut squash is plenty to make a sauce for a full 16 oz bag of egg noodles, be sure to save the pasta water to loosen it or it will be a very thick sauce. The bacon wasn't as sweet as I expected and it didn't get crispy in the oven after the expected time, I had to pull it and finish it in the air fryer.
The honey pepper garlic paste was excellent. The maggi wasn't worth purchasing special, soy sauce is a find substitute. I would like to make this again with a pate or meatballs. The pickled radish and carrots were standouts.
