CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in squash and garlic; season with salt. Cook squash mixture, stirring occasionally, until squash is slightly tender, about 10 minutes. Add water if mixture gets too dry. Transfer squash mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

PARMESAN-BUTTERNUT SQUASH GRATIN

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Add garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is soft and butter is infused with garlic flavor. Do not let butter brown.
• In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, cheese and 1 tablespoon of the butter-garlic mixture.
• Brush squash slices with remaining butter-garlic mixture. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and bread crumb mixture.
• Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with fork. Increase oven temperature to 425°F; bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Before serving, sprinkle parsley over top.

TWICE-BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the squash and potatoes on a baking sheet. Brush the squash with half of the oil and toss the sweet potatoes with the other half, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Turn the squash and sweet potatoes flesh-side down on the baking sheet and poke the skin of the squash all over with a fork. Roast until the squash flesh is very soft and golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through when poked with a knife, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Turn the oven to broil. Scoop out the flesh of the sweet potatoes and put it in a bowl (discard the skins). Scoop the flesh out of the squash, leaving a 1/2-inch border of flesh around the edges, and add it to the bowl along with the heavy cream, butter, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Mash with a potato masher until it is smooth, creamy and resembles mashed potatoes. Put the squash skins back on the baking sheet and divide the filling evenly between the cavities. Top with the goat cheese, then broil until the cheese is bubbly and just beginning to turn brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle the scallions and pepitas over tops before serving.

BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH CHEESE AND HEAVY CREAM

Steps:

• Wash the squash just a little bit, and then peel the squash with sharp knife of if you have potato peeler. With potato peele is easier and quicker to peel everything. Save the remains for food photos :) I highly recommend getting the peeler. It will make your life easier when you peel it.
• Second, cut the squash in slices. The slices should be 1 cm thick or how you like it.
• Third, remove all the seeds from every slice.
• Cut the squash slices in small square pieces.
• Boil the water and cook the squash 15-20 min just because the squash is very hard. With little bit of cooking will make baking easier and quicker.
• When the squash is not so hard anymore, remove the water from it.
• In a glass baking bowl, put a little bit of heavy cream on the bottom.
• Put the half of the squash squares pieces in a baking bowl.
• Cover the top with half of the heavy cream and half of the cheese.
• Put the rest of the squash in a bowl and cover it with the rest of the heavy cream and cheese.
• Put the salt, garlic and pepper (optional).
