Butternut Squash and Sage Pillows with Brown Butter Sauce

Butternut Squash and Sage Pillows with Brown Butter Sauce is a delectable dish that combines the sweetness of butternut squash with the earthy flavor of sage. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner with family and friends.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the butternut squash, ricotta cheese, chopped sage, salt, black pepper, and egg yolk. Add the flour and mix until well combined.
Using a spoon, scoop out the mixture and form it into small pillows. Place the pillows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While the pillows are baking, prepare the brown butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns a light brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped sage and grated Parmesan cheese.
To serve, place the butternut squash and sage pillows on a plate and drizzle the brown butter sauce over them. Garnish with additional chopped sage and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The butternut squash and sage pillows are soft and pillowy, while the brown butter sauce adds a rich and nutty flavor. The grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty kick that balances out the sweetness of the butternut squash.
In two words, this dish can be described as 'Savory Pillows'. The three main ingredients are butternut squash, sage, and brown butter.
Cooking tip: To make the butternut squash easier to peel, cut off the top and bottom of the squash and microwave it for 2-3 minutes. This will soften the skin and make it easier to remove.
