BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SAGE AND MUSHROOM CASSEROLE
This is a Weight Watchers CORE recipe, adapted from the Weight Watchers website AND is vegetarian! (Can probably be made vegan if you sub the condensed skim milk with soy). There are quite a few steps to this, BUT in the end I think it tastes great. The earthy mushrooms and sage are a perfect match to the sweet and buttery squash. Sage is strong so I have 1-2 tbsp listed in the ingredients. Please use your own taste, as the original recipe called for only 1 tbsp. We like sage allot, so I would in fact increase the fresh sage to 2 tbsp when I make this again.

Number Of Ingredients 8
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.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a 12" skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the squash and cook, stirring occasionally, until spotty brown, 15 - 20 minutes.
- Stir in the green onions, sage, mushrooms, nutmeg, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper and cook until the green onions are softened, about 1 minute. Add the broth, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Cook pasta according to directions. Reserve ½ cup of cooking water.
- Add the squash mixture, parmesan and lemon juice to the pasta and toss to combine, adjusting the sauce consistency with the reserved cooking water if needed. Season with the salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the almonds and serve.
Tips:
- For a creamier sauce, use a combination of butter and olive oil. The butter adds richness, while the olive oil helps to prevent the sauce from becoming too heavy.
- If you don't have fresh sage, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried sage. Just be sure to add it to the pan at the same time as the mushrooms.
- If you're using pre-cooked butternut squash, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the casserole. This will help to prevent the casserole from becoming watery.
- Serve the casserole immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the casserole for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the casserole overnight in the refrigerator, then bake it in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven until heated through.
Conclusion:
Weight Watchers Butternut Squash, Sage, and Mushroom Casserole is a delicious and satisfying dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that's sure to please everyone at the table.
