Legend of Fall Series II (Squash)-- it snows, (frustrated by unsatisfying pics)

Ravioli with Orange Scent Carnival Squash Sauce

It really surprised everyone, by the greeting from big pieces of snowflakes. I guess most people are cuddling at home watching this show offered by fall. When I caught the first sight of those big snowflakes, just rushed to facebook to broadcast this significant event. But after I published my excitement,  realized I was almost the last one to see it, > <
Well it starts snowing, which means it's time for gaogao to go out to start her snowbuddy projects, this winter, keep an eye on it, don't miss a signle one, I promise it will please you and help you to fight the winter despression, aza za fighting!

In my imagination, the winter squash should go perfectly with bacon, I was going to make bacon cup filled with squash hash, but I don't have two small muffin pans to make bacon cups, so I came up with some pasta dishes. I looked up online and found very interesting butternut squash filling ravioli with orange butter, I believe the winter squash sauce will amaze me by orange flavor. Since I am not ready to make my own pasta, so I used something from store, the filling was actually doesn;t go well with orange scent squash sauce, but the sauce itself is really wonderful, further, it can become a soup or a pasta filling.

And I also found sage loves bacon, so I pan fried the sage leaves in bacon grease, then sauté squash and onion, besides chicken broth, I added orange juice and orange scent oil( the one I got from Seattle) , then suddenly, the orange scent diffused around the house, felt like in the heaven with lovely oranges. After squash got cooked, I added a little bit cream and maple syrup, then used blender to make it into a sauce.

Without beans, it is hard to get that creamy texture. But maybe for the orange flavor, it is better to go light? Anyway the orange sent sweetness combine with bacon flakes and those barriers, it is a hit for sure !
