BUTTERNUT SQUASH PANADE

Butternut Squash Panade image

A panade, originally an economizing vehicle for using old bread to feed a family, is a delicious dish in its own right. Essentially a savory bread pudding made with layers of caramelized onions and winter squash, it makes for a hearty meatless main dish. A panade can also substitute for bread stuffing and be served alongside a roasted bird.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
Salt and pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
12 ounces sliced stale country bread (if not quite stale, toast lightly and let cool before using)
1 pound butternut or other winter squash, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
8 ounces Gruyère or Comté cheese, grated
4 cups water or broth, more as needed

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a deep 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat oil until sizzling over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 8 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until onions are nicely browned, about 5 minutes more. Stir in garlic, thyme and sage, then turn off heat.
Assemble the panade: Line bottom of baking dish with half the bread slices. Add a layer of cooked onion, then a layer of squash. Season squash with salt and pepper. Finish with a layer of grated cheese. Top with remaining bread slices.
Add water or broth and press down on the top layer of bread to make sure the casserole is evenly saturated. Add more if needed to soak the top layer. It should be damp but not swimming in liquid.
Cover with foil, place on a sheet pan and bake, covered, for 45 minutes, until squash is tender. Uncover and bake 15 minutes more, until browned and bubbling on top. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon dry mustard
2 cups milk
6 ounces shredded white Cheddar cheese
6 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Place butternut squash, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.
Roast squash in the preheated oven until soft, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove squash flesh from skin and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour and mustard into melted butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk milk into flour mixture until the mixture has the texture of heavy cream, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir butternut squash, white Cheddar cheese, and Cheddar cheese into milk mixture until cheese is melted. Stir rotini into cheese mixture. Pour cheese mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs are golden, about 10 minutes.
