PARMESAN MASHED BUTTERNUT SQUASH
This is a fabulous way to prepare squash! My DH normally does not like squash of any kind and really enjoyed this! Great alternative to mashed potatoes. Posted as a component of my "Recipe#294492", but is great on it's own too!

Steps:
- Carefully cut squash in half using a heavy blade chef?s knife. Scrape out the seeds using a spoon.
- Rub the cut surfaces of the squash with the extra virgin olive oil.
- Place onto a cookie sheet cut side up and roast in a 350 convection oven (or 375 conventional oven) for about 30 to 40 minutes or until the squash is easily pierced with a skewer.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly at room temperature.
- As soon as you can safely handle the squash without burning your hands, scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, being sure to remove any burnt bits or pieces of skin.
- Place flesh back onto cookie sheet and put back into oven, just until hot (about 3-5 minutes).
- Place hot squash in a mixing bowl, add remaining ingredients and mash with a potato masher or a fork to desired consistency. If you like it a little smoother, pass the squash through a food mill before mixing in remaining ingredients.

Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 300°F. Prick squash all over with the point of a sharp paring knife and arrange on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Roast until very tender (knife should slide easily through the flesh), about 3 hours. Tear or cut squash in half and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Remove seeds from squash; discard. Scoop flesh into a medium bowl. Tear skin into 6 large (about 4x4") pieces and set aside on same baking sheet to be refilled later; discard any excess skin. Add grated Parmesan, butter, and lemon zest to bowl with flesh and mash together to combine; season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully move rack to upper third of oven and increase oven temperature to 450°F. Divide mashed squash mixture among reserved pieces of skin and roast until top of flesh is beginning to brown, 10-12 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, whisk lemon juice, vinegar, oil, and honey in a large bowl. Add scallions, grains, pumpkin seeds, and raisins to dressing and toss to coat.
- Arrange squash on a platter and spoon grain mixture and dressing over. Top with shaved Parmesan.
- Do Ahead
- Whole squash can be roasted 4 days ahead. Keep intact and chill.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut both squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Transfer cut side down to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Poke outside of skin all over with a fork, then roast until flesh is very soft, about 1 1/2 hours for large squash and about 1 hour for medium squash.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 cup cream in a medium pot over medium until just beginning to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in 1/4 cup cheese and cook, whisking, until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl and chill until very cold, about 45 minutes (do not freeze).
- Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels, reserving bacon fat in skillet. Let cool, then finely chop.
- Spread 3 Tbsp. sugar in a thin layer in the center of a medium dry skillet. Cook over medium heat, mostly undisturbed (it's ok to swirl pan gently to get sugar to melt evenly), until sugar melts and starts to turn light brown, about 6 minutes. Quickly stir in bacon and hazelnuts and cook, stirring, until coated and melted sugar is chestnut brown, about 1 minute more. Scrape onto a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and spread out to cool, then finely chop.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Using a spoon, scoop flesh out of large squash into a large bowl, leaving a 1/2" border around squash shell to help maintain its shape. Transfer large shells to a rimmed baking sheet; arrange a few pieces of crumpled foil around shells to keep them upright. Scoop flesh out of medium shells into same bowl (you should have 6 cups squash); discard medium shells. Using a potato masher or spatula, mix in salt, pepper, nutmeg, 1 Tbsp. reserved bacon fat, and remaining 1 cup cream, 3/4 cup cheese, and 1 Tbsp. sugar until smooth. Fold in 2 Tbsp. chives. Divide filling between large squash shells, then create attractive swoops with a spoon. Bake squash until warmed through, 20-30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed or a whisk, whip chilled cream to medium peaks. Chill until ready to use.
- Dollop squash with whipped cream, then top with candied bacon bits and remaining 1 Tbsp. chives. Serve extra candied hazelnut-bacon bits on the side.
- Do Ahead
- Squash shells can be filled (not baked) 2 days ahead; cover and chill.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm butternut squash for the best flavor and texture.
- Prick the squash with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape.
- Roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the squash until smooth.
- Add parmesan cheese, butter, and seasonings to taste.
- Serve the mashed butternut squash immediately or reheat it gently before serving.
