Ingredients
- ½ butternut squash peeled, deseeded, and cut into small cubes.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 100 ml double cream heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons water
- 400 g cannellini beans drained (or butter beans) 15oz/400g
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- Optional garnish: chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel the butternut squash, remove and discard the seeds, and cut the flesh into small ½ -inch cubes. Toss the butternut squash cubes with half of the olive oil, plus the salt and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the squash is roasting, heat a large deep skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, tomato paste, paprika, oregano and thyme.
- Stir in the cream and water, then stir in the roasted butternut squash, beans, and parmesan, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
