Because I took the photos for Wild About Greens, Nava Atlas’ brilliant new cookbook, her editor was kind enough to send me several copies, and I would like to pass two of those books on to a couple of my faithful readers.

Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Pasta
 |
This easy family dish is perfect for a party or weeknight meals. The combination of smoky bacon, sweet butternut squash, caramelized shallots and sharp provolone cheese make a delicious and incredible flavor pasta dish. This recipe is long and there are a lot of steps, but trust me it is worth it. Mini penne pasta works well in this dish since it’s about the same size as the squash. You can also use elbow macaroni, shell pasta, or orecchiette.
