Ingredients
-
One 2-pound butternut squash—peeled, seeded and sliced 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon dried sage, crumbled
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 package pre-made polenta
Unsalted butter
4 ounces smoked Gouda, shredded (1 cup)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-fat mozzerella
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°. Arrange the squash on a large oiled baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, until tender. Transfer the squash to a bowl and mash coarsely. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups.) Spread the pine nuts on a pie plate and toast in the oven for 4 minutes, until golden. Coarsely chop the nuts.
Heat the polenta in a saucepan. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter along with the mashed squash, pine nuts, sage, Gouda and half of the mozzerlla cheese. Pour the hot polenta into a baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining grated mozzerella cheese.
Bake in a 375° oven for 1 hour, until the top is slightly browned and crisp.
