Time 38m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large butternut squash, about 1 1/2 pounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, minced
Salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
Pinch ground nutmeg
6 fresh sage leaves, cut in thin strips
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
Chopped chestnuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise to remove the seeds and strings. Peel the skin using a paring knife and cut the squash into small cubes.
  • Place the olive oil and shallots in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the shallots begin to color, add the squash and season with salt and pepper. Saute a few minutes to lightly caramelize the surface of the cubes. Add the bay leaf, nutmeg, sage, and chicken broth. Cover the pan and cook until the squash is tender but still holding its shape, about 8 minutes.
  • Puree the sauce with a standard or immersion blender and serve with potato gnocchi. Top with grated cheese and chopped chestnuts before serving. If desired, fry some sage and shallots in olive oil to garnish.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste, and it was much better.

This sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think it would be better with a lighter broth or cream.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The sauce is so creamy and flavorful, and the sage adds a nice touch of flavor. I served it over pasta and it was a hit with my family.

This recipe is a keeper! The sauce is creamy, flavorful, and the perfect fall comfort food. I added a bit of extra sage because I love the flavor, but even without it, this sauce is delicious.

This butternut squash sauce is a game-changer! It's so creamy and flavorful, and the sage adds a perfect touch of savory earthiness. I served it over pasta, but I think it would also be great on chicken or fish.
