Stumbling Sunday - Butternut Squash with Gorgonzola and Sage


Found this recipe on the http://www.closetcooking.blogspot.com/ blog. For November he has highlighted a bunch of recipes with pumpkin. This recipe stood out the most to me since my new food obssession is butternut squash.

Ingredients:

2 cups butternut squash (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion (sliced)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon butter
1 handful sage leaves
1/4 cup gorgonzola dolce (crumbled)

Directions:

2. Roast the squash in a preheated 350F oven until tender, about 30-40 minutes and set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan.
4. Add the onion and cook on low until caramelized, about 40-60 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and saute for a few minutes and set aside.
