New Year, new motivation. My crazy schedule makes it really hard to post here as much as I would love to, but I am trying really hard to change that. Expect more recipes, more often. I still have Christmas cookie recipes to post, my first try at homemade stuffing, and more!

I saw 2 pounds of squash at the farmers market for $1 and I knew I’d find something to do with it so I picked it up. I don’t eat squash but my family does so I made it for them.

Parmesan-Roasted Butternut Squash

Adapted from Gourmet 2008

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 3 sage leaves
• 2/3 cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Toss squash with cream, sage, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Bake, covered, 30 minutes.

Stir in half of cheese and sprinkle remainder on top. Roast, uncovered, until squash is tender and beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Let stand about 5 minutes before serving (cream will thicken).

Verdict: I don’t really like squash but I still tried this. It was pretty good. My family members loved it. It is very creamy and def not what I normally think of when I hear we are eating squash. I wouldn’t make this again only because I wouldn’t eat it.
