Roasted Butternut Squash

Not everyone is a lover of squash, but this recipe is a super-duper winner! I absolutely loved this when I had it for the first time and I know you will too.

 

  • 2 1/2 lbs. butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. savory
  • generous pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/3 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely grated asiago cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Toss the squash with the cream, savory, salt and pepper in a 2 quart shallow baking dish. Cover and bake for about 30 minutes.

Stir in half the cheese and sprinkle the remainder on top. Roast uncovered until the squash is tender and just beginning to brown. This should take about 20 minutes.

Let stand about 5 minutes to allow the cream to thicken and serve with your favourite fish or chicken dinner. Actually, serving it at anytime with anything is good. This is fabulously delicious.
