This recipe is inspired by the butternut squash ravioli at Cactus Club. If you’ve never tried delicata squash, it’s probably the creamiest squash in the world. It’s like butternut squash’s hot older brother. It’s like if cream cheese died and reincarnated as a vegetable. I topped it with a basil and olive oil dressing.
