Fall Harvest Rotini

This fall harvest rotini is easy to make, healthy, and also full of your favorite fall veggies! Overall I love the simplicity of this dish. Additionally, you can throw in whatever veggies you have laying around that you may need to use up before the end of the week. I usually buy whole wheat pasta to keep it healthier, but feel free to use what you have.

Tips & Tricks

• Substitute arugula for kale to add a peppery flavor to the dish. 
• You can often buy pre-cut butternut squash, however I find the whole squash to be cheaper. 
• I like to remove the stems from the kale so it's not as tough to eat.
• Additionally you can substitute agave or honey for the maple syrup.
