This turned out to be delicious, in part because I used spicy thai flavored linguini noodles. Also I found the butternut squash to be too stringy for the dish so I added about a fourth cup more of coconut milk and blended it into a sauce. Had to add some more seasoning to make it flavorful but it worked out well. I would make it for guests.
