Butternut Squash Polenta

I was walking through the grocery store and there was a sample guy with butternut squash and little bit of bread. He had spiced it with green onions and chicken broth.

Oddly, this gave me a totally different idea.

Butternut Squash Polenta

Butternut Squash
Cooking spray
Goya Sazon with Saffron
Garlic powder
Paprika
tofu
mushroom
Goya Sofrito
Water

Polenta
Cheese


I quickly sauteed the chopped, de-seeded squash then added water, garlic, paprika and sazon.

I allowed the squash to simmer in this soaking up the water.

In a separate pot I made up some cheesy polenta.

In the first pan I added tofu and mushrooms and some margarine. These sauteed and the squash turned to its paste.

Once these was all cooked and the squash was fully mashed, I added a few tablespoons of sofrito and water. I continued adding little bits of water until the sofrito and mashed squash had created a sauce. then I added the cheesy polenta and stirred.

There you go, butternut squash pasta sauce that wasn't too sweet with polenta.
