Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed butternut squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
- While squash is roasting, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and lime juice in a mason jar or small bowl. Shake or whisk until emulsified.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add bow tie pasta and cook according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Toast pumpkin seeds for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant.
- In a large salad bowl, combine roasted butternut squash, cooked pasta, toasted pumpkin seeds, baby spinach, crumbled goat cheese, and dried cranberries. Drizzle dressing over top and toss gently to combine.
- Garnish with fresh thyme or extra goat cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes
Prepare the butternut squash and dressing a day in advance. Don't add the dressing until just before serving to keep the greens crisp. Adjust dressing ingredients to taste. Store components separately for best results.
