Planning a wedding in less than 6 months is no easy task, planning an Indian wedding is even more arduous. There is so much to do… from setting a date to negotiating a venue to sending out invitations to buying wedding outfits for three different occasions to finding the right jewelry and shoes to searching for a photographer, DJ, caterer, decorator, wedding cake, hair & makeup person to picking out a color theme to figuring out centerpieces to buying wedding favors to planning a honeymoon. Planning a wedding, in a nutshell. Some love it, some dread it. I fall in the latter category, not complaining, just sayin’. I’m stressed just thinking about how much has been done, and how much there still is left to do. Luckily, I have been blessed with an amazing fiancé who is handling more than his fair share. My full-time job occupies my day, my blog and wedding planning consume me at night, and my weekends are all about family and wedding shopping. These days cooking a real meal has taken a backseat. Often times I’ll whip up eggs for dinner, or a quick fish dinner, but it’s rare that I’ll actually spend an hour to cook. Fall is my favorite season and butternut squash is one of my favorite fall ingredients. I’ve dreamed of making Butternut Squash Pasta with sage, and I finally decided to do it when I found Parmigiano Reggiano on sale at Whole Foods NYC, in addition to organic butternut squash. This dish is incredibly delicious, comforting and satisfying. It’ll instantly warm you up on that perfect cool fall night. Enjoy!
