SAGE-PECAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI

BROWN BUTTER AND SAGE BUTTERNUT SQUASH BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and place the squash in the pan.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the onion to the pan with the squash.
• Return the skillet to the heat and add the remaining 5 tablespoons butter. Heat until the butter melts and begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. (The butter will begin to separate and sizzle. Take care to let it gently brown rather than burn. If the butter burns, throw it out and try again.) Stir in the sage. Drizzle the butter mixture over the squash and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Use a wooden spoon to toss the mixture until the squash is evenly coated with the browned butter.
• Bake until the squash is tender and beginning to brown around the edges, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 400 degrees F. Top the squash with the crackers and cook until the crackers are nicely golden brown, an additional 20 minutes.

SAUTEED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH SHAVED APPLE AND PECANS

Steps:

• Melt the butter and oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sage and fry until crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the squash to the skillet along with the nutmeg and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Saute the squash, stirring occasionally, until browned and almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Lower the heat and continue to cook until the squash is soft and cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Remove to a serving dish, top with the shaved apple and sprinkle with the toasted pecans and sage leaves. Serve immediately.

CARAMELIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut off and discard the ends of each butternut squash. Peel the squash, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the squash into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2-inch cubes and place them on a baking sheet. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. With clean hands, toss all the ingredients together and spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, until the squash is tender and the glaze begins to caramelize. While roasting, turn the squash a few times with a spatula, to be sure it browns evenly. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.
