Nonna Anna Buonsante’s Butternut Squash with Potatoes and Fava Beans

In Nonna Anna’s hometown of Mola di Bari, this hearty minestrone with autumnal flavors was made to commemorate the dead on All Souls’ Day. The sweetness of the butternut squash mingles beautifully with the fried onions, while the skin of the fava beans adds wonderful texture to this dish. It’s perfect for an evening when there’s a little chill in the air.
