Serves 12
1 butternut squash (or 1 package (20-ounce) peeled butternut squash)
2 shallots
3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
salt
Freshly ground black pepper
20 oz. Brussels sprouts
1 c. walnuts
¼ c. fresh lemon juice

Meanwhile, with adjustable-blade slicer or very sharp knife, cut Brussels sprouts crosswise into very thin slices.
In large bowl, toss sprouts, walnuts, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil until well mixed. Spread on serving platter. Top with squash mixture and Pecorino shavings.
