Gnocchi or Pasta Baked with Roasted Butternut Squash
Ingredients and method:
Saute together until softened:
- 1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed (you can get pre-prepared, fresh squash cubes in a sack at Trader Joe's and some other supermarkets)
- 1 head of garlic
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 tsp. red chili flakes
Cut the top off of the head of garlic, so that all the cloves are exposed.
Toss garlic and squash with olive oil and chili flakes.
Spread out on a cookie sheet and roast at 450 for 20-35 minutes, until squash is fork-tender.
Use a jarred Alfredo sauce, or make your own white sauce using:
- 2 cups low-fat or non-fat milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup Parmesean cheese
Bring milk up to a simmer and then whisk in the flour over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens. Stir in salt, pepper and cheese.
- 1 onion, chopped fine and caramelized
- 1 package of gnocchi, boiled, or 1 cup pasta, cooked
- 1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
Combine all ingredients above into a 9" x 13" casserole dish.
Cover with 1/2 cup shredded Emmentaler or Parmesean cheese.
Bake at 400 until golden brown and bubbling. Yum!
