Cassolita Squash With Caramelized Onions Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F, line a baking sheet with baking paper and grease a 8x8 casserole dish with olive oil. 2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, season with olive oil, salt and pepper and place cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, until the skin of the squash is fork tender. 3. While squash is baking, prepare caramelized onions and mushrooms. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, add onions and mushrooms. Lower the temperature to medium and cook onions and mushrooms until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add broth, wine or water to the pan and using a flat edged wooden spoon "scrape" the bottom of the pan to pick up the brown bits. Cook onions and mushrooms for 8-10 minutes more, until there is no more liquid in the pan. 4. Remove squash from the oven, scoop out flesh and place in the prepared casserole dish. Stir in caramelized onions, mushrooms, tomato sauce, garlic powder, whisked eggs and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix everything together until you can no longer see eggs. 5. Bake uncovered at 400°F for 1 hour, until the top of the casserole has formed a golden crust that is brown around the edges. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

CASSOLITA (WINTER SQUASH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place the squash, cut-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Add 1/4 cup of water, cover with aluminum foil, and bake until the squash is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and, once cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp into a large bowl.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet, and toss in the almonds and cook until golden. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Sauté the onions in the same pan over medium heat until translucent. Then add salt to taste, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, 2 teaspoons of the sugar, the cinnamon and the raisins, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 more minutes or until the onions are caramelized.
• Gently fold the onions into the squash. Season with pepper and more salt, if necessary, and sprinkle with the remaining parsley, the almonds and, if you wish, the extra tablespoon of sugar. Serve immediately, or make ahead and reheat.
