Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 butternut squash (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • With a small sharp knife or vegetable peeler, carefully peel the squash, removing the yellow skin and green layer underneath. (The skin is difficult to remove, and you will have to peel the squash twice if you are using a vegetable peeler.) Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Cut in half lengthwise again; then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Put the squash slices in a large saucepan and cover with tepid tap water. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and boil gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain in a colander and transfer to a gratin dish with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
  • If squash is prepared in advance, reheat in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes, until hot and lightly browned on top. Serve.

This gratin was a little too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

This gratin is the perfect comfort food for a cold night. It's warm, cheesy, and filling. I could definitely see myself making this again and again.

I love the combination of flavors in this gratin. The butternut squash is sweet and creamy, the cheese is sharp and tangy, and the herbs add a nice savory note. It's a really well-balanced dish.
