Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 butternut squash peeled, seeded and chopped into 3/4 pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled but left whole
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon thyme about 4 sprigs, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk whole
  • 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese room temp (or use sour cream)
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Peel, seed and chop the butternut squash into roughly 3/4 inch pieces. Place on a sheet tray with the whole, peeled garlic cloves and toss together with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread everything out in a single layer.
  3. Roast on the middle rack. After 20 minutes, add the thyme and turn squash and garlic so the other side browns. Cook for another 20-25 minutes. You want the squash to be very tender and just lightly brown.
  4. Remove from oven and place squash and garlic in a bowl. Using a potato masher, mash the squash and garlic until it’s all mixed up and you can’t see any more chunks. If you like a very smooth texture, you could pulse it in a food processor instead. I like it more rustic so I just mashed mine in the bowl.
  5. While it’s hot, add the mascarpone (or sour cream), butter and 2 tablespoons milk. Stir until smooth and creamy. If it’s still too thick, add more milk a little at a time until you like the consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
