Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil spray.
- Place the prepared butternut squash cubes in a large shallow bowl and set aside
- Add the olive oil, butter and honey to a small saucepan set on low heat, stirring until warm and syrupy. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Drizzle the butter mixture over the butternut cubes and gently toss together to coat all sides of the cubes. Tip the cubes onto the baking sheet and spread them in a single layer with space between them. Sprinkle generously with salt.
- Place in oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. The cubes should have a slight char to the edges and still a little firm when pierced with a toothpick. Do not over cook them as they will continue to cook a bit from residue heat.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately transfer the cubes to a plate and allow to cool to room temperature while preparing the shrimp.
- In a large skillet, set over medium heat, add the olive oil, butter, red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds just until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Stir in the paprika and lemon juice. Working in batches, add only enough shrimp to cover the bottom of the pan without crowding them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes, turning with tongs as they begin to pink up. As they become uniformly pink and in a 'C' shape, transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Proceed cooking the remaining shrimp in batches, adjusting the heat as necessary. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Insert a bamboo pick into each shrimp and then into a butternut cube. Add a fresh herb sprig to each appetizer. Arrange the appetizers attractively on a serving plate with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat an oven-proof 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are a dark golden-brown, about 15 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir in the balsamic and sprinkle the oregano over the top. Turn off the heat and spread the onions evenly over the bottom of the pan, using a rubber spatula.
- Place the ricotta in a small bowl. Season with 1/8 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper. Dollop the ricotta over the onions in 8 to 10 places. Using a fork, prick the puff pasty a few times evenly. Place the puff pastry over the top of the filling, pressing down gently to make sure the dough is touching the ricotta and onions.
- Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with a plate slightly larger than the skillet. Invert the crostata onto the plate, replacing any onions that may have stuck to the pan. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, dress the arugula with the lemon juice. Sprinkle the arugula over the cooled crostata and nestle the tomatoes into the onions. Slice into wedges or squares and serve.

Steps:
- Make the crust: In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, work it into the flour until only pea-sized pieces remain. Add the water, starting with 3 tablespoons, and mix the dough with your fingers until it is moist enough to hold together. Add more water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the dough onto a clean surface, form into a disc, and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- While the dough is resting, make the filling: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the garlic cloves to a large, high-walled skillet over medium heat. Cook for 3 minutes, until the garlic just begins to brown. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the onion is caramelized. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool in a bowl. To the same pan, add the potatoes, ½ teaspoon of salt, and the water. Increase the heat to medium-high, cover, and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the potatoes are almost fully cooked and the water is nearly evaporated. Remove the lid and cook for 2 minutes more to completely evaporate the water. Remove potatoes from the pan and set aside to cool.
- To the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the red pepper flakes, and chard stems. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes, until the stems are softened. Add the chard leaves and remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted and reduced in volume by half. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Remove the garlic cloves from the caramelized onions and transfer to a small bowl. Mash with the back of a fork, then add to the softened goat cheese and stir to combine.
- Stir the onions into the pan with the sautéed chard.
- Assemble the crostata: Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch (30 cm) wide circle, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread ½ cup (110 G) of the garlic goat cheese over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch (50 cm) border around the edges. Arrange half of the potatoes, slightly overlapping, over the goat cheese, then top with half of the Swiss chard and onion mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes and chard mixture.
- Fold the edges of the crust up and over the filling to create a rustic look. Brush the crust with the beaten egg. Top with dollops of the remaining goat cheese.
- Bake the crostata for 45-50 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!
