Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • baking dish
  • oven

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups butternut squash (peeled and diced)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons garlic (peeled and minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Oven and Butternut Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the squash into small bite-sized cubes.
  • Assemble the Dish: Arrange the diced butternut squash in a baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and minced garlic. Drizzle this mixture over the butternut squash, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  • Season and Add Cream: Sprinkle the squash with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the heavy cream over the top to create a creamy base.
  • Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the squash. Make sure it's evenly distributed for that gooey, cheesy finish.
  • Roast to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender, the cream is bubbling, and the cheese is golden and melty.
