How do I make the butternut squash noodles for this recipe?

Clean and peel the butternut squash, then use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin ribbons that resemble tagliatelle for your grain-free pasta.

What kind of mushrooms can I use if I don't have chanterelles?

While the recipe specifies chanterelles, you can substitute them with other mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms to achieve a similar earthy flavor profile.

How is the creamy cashew sauce prepared for this dish?

For the creamy sauce, blend all the soaked cashews with olive oil and cashew milk until smooth, then season it to your taste with salt and pepper.

Can I prepare parts of this creamy butternut squash pasta ahead of time?

While best served fresh, you can prepare the butternut squash ribbons and the cashew cream sauce separately a day in advance. Reheat gently and combine just before serving.

How can I adjust the spice level in this pasta recipe?

The recipe includes turmeric, dry paprika, and Cayenne pepper; adjust the amount of Cayenne pepper to control the heat, or omit it entirely for a milder dish.
