Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. On a parchment lined sheet pan, spread butternut squash in an even layer and season with salt. Bake, flipping halfway through, until tender, about 40 minutes.
Step 2
When the butternut squash is almost done, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, pour in the pasta and cook according to package directions.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, sauté the spinach in a nonstick pan until wilted.
Step 4
Once the squash, noodles and spinach are cooked, remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
When cooled, combine the pasta, squash, spinach, Annie's Organic Sesame Ginger Dressing, pecans and figs together. Mix until well combined and all noodles are covered with the dressing, adjust seasoning with salt.
Step 6
Garnish with bits of vegan cheese on top, then serve warm or cold.
