WINTER SQUASH WEDGES WITH GORGONZOLA BUTTER AND HAZELNUTS
Any winter squash variety will work-delicata, butternut, acorn, kabocha, etc.-and you don't need to bother peeling it, because most squash varieties have edible skins that become quite tender once cooked.

Steps:
- Make the Gorgonzola butter:
- In a medium-sized bowl, pound the garlic and a hefty pinch of salt with the back of a spoon until a paste forms. Add the butter and cheese and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
- Make the squash:
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and brush the squash wedges with a little melted butter. Add the squash to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, for a few minutes. Once the squash begins to brown up a bit, turn the wedges and continue to cook, turning them every few minutes, until they are tender, about 25 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Spoon a thin layer of the Gorgonzola butter onto a platter and top it with the squash. Sprinkle with the minced parsley, hazelnuts, and freshly ground black pepper.
HUBBARD SQUASH CASSEROLE
I bought a Hubbard Squash at a local farmer's market and never had cooked one before. They told me it tasted like sweet potato, so I used seasonings that I like with sweet potato, and it does taste similar! You may have to adjust the sugar and cinnamon to your taste, or if you have an extra-big squash.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel the squash if desired. Halve the squash and scoop out and discard the seeds and strings. Cut into 1-inch wedges.
- Brush a roasting pan lightly with some of the butter. In a medium bowl, toss the squash with the remaining butter and season with the salt. Spread out on the pan and roast for about 30 minutes. Turn the wedges over with a pancake-style spatula and continue to roast until tender and browned, about 30 minutes more. Transfer the squash to an ovenproof serving dish, season with pepper to taste and sprinkle with the cheese, while still hot, to melt slightly (if needed, return the squash to the oven to melt the cheese). Serve.
