Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and pith to make it look like a donut. Not you can spiralize each section with a bit more ease. The next key to this recipe is letting the butternut squash noodles sit in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This helps soften the noodles, making them much easier to eat.
