Very new to cooking, it was last year that I was first introduced to delicata squash. It's so versatile. And, as a result I try to keep a bowl of it (roasted) in my fridge at all times (for adding to a salad, or using as a side dish, or snacking on ... sure tastes better than popped corn). In the heat of the summer I have little desire for anything heavy to eat. So, one night I tossed some roasted Delicata with some linguine and a I really surprised myself at how delicious it was.
