Butternut squash filling
4 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | ounces | Butternut squash; peeled and seeded |
| 2 | tablespoons | Unsalted butter |
| Nutmeg | ||
| Salt | ||
| 2½ | tablespoon | Parmigiano-reggiano cheese; freshly grated |
Directions
1. Grate the butternut squash. Saute it in the butter over very low heat, preferably in a nonstick pan, being careful that it never burns but gives up its own water as a medium to cook in, about 15-20 minutes. It should break down into a smooth mass. Mixture must be cooked until it is thick. 2.
Remove from the heat and stir in nutmeg, salt and cheese.
The filling can be made 2 days in advance, and refrigerated. Warm before using to stuff pasta.
