Fettuccine with Roasted Butternut Squash Eggplant and Oyster Mushrooms

Kristin Sollenne, Celebrity Chef and author of the new book, Domestic Chic: A Fashionably Fabulous Guide for Cooking & Entertaining shared one of her favorite holiday dishes with Champagne Living for todays #FallFun31

This dish encompasses the essence of fall, utilizing vegetables that epitomize fall flavor and color while providing the palette with a warm, satisfying combination for those chilly fall evenings. Alongside this dish I love to pair it with an Apple Brandy Sangria for that nice sweet touch. You can find the recipes for both the dish and the cocktail below as well as in my cookbook, Domestic Chic.
