1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage leaves
2 packages (1.9 oz each) frozen mini filo shells, 30 shells thawed
1/2 cup finely grated Asiago cheese (2 oz)
Fresh sage leaves, if desired
Additional ground pepper, if desired

Steps:

Heat oven to 425°F. Place butternut squash in ungreased 17x12-inch half-sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with pepper and salt. Roast 30 to 40 minutes or until browned and tender, stirring after 20 minutes. Cool in pan on cooling rack, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F.
In food processor, place garlic. Cover; process, with on-and-off pulses, until chopped. Add butternut squash, whipping cream and chopped sage. Cover; process 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth, scraping bowl occasionally.
Line cookie sheet or half-sheet pan with foil. Spoon about 1 rounded teaspoonful butternut squash mixture into each filo shell. Place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Immediately remove to cooling rack. Garnish with sage leaves and pepper. Serve warm.
