This Roasted Butternut Squash recipe is amazing! I made a double recipe of this planning on having leftovers and there was nothing left on the platter at the end of the night. It was sweet and savory and how can you go wrong with browned butter, pancetta and blue cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 lb pancetta, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons fresh sage leaves, chopped, plus
additional fresh sage leaf (to garnish)
4 cups butternut squash or 4 cups pumpkin, pieces
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Peel, clean squash and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
