Butternut Squash Agnolotti With Bacon And Aged Balsamic Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 ̊ F. Stir the butter and flour in a small bowl to make a paste. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from the skillet.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, sage and Italian seasoning and cook until the garlic is softened, about 1 minute. Season with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir in the milk and heavy cream; bring to a simmer. Whisk in the butter-flour paste and cook until thickened, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan and the bacon.
• Combine the mozzarella and fontina in a bowl. Spread 1/2 cup of the cream sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; top with 3 lasagna noodles. Top with a layer of butternut squash slices, overlapping them, then 1/2 cup more sauce and 1/3 cup mozzarella-fontina mixture. Repeat the layering 5 more times (noodles, squash, sauce, cheese), using up all the squash. Top with the remaining 3 noodles, then the remaining sauce and mozzarella-fontina mixture. Cover with foil and bake until the squash is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Mix the breadcrumbs and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan; sprinkle over the lasagna. Bake, uncovered, until golden, 15 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix to coat the squash.
• Place squash on a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until the squash is tender and brown about 30 to 35 minutes making sure to flip the squash after 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Cut the squash lengthwise in half. Seed and cut it into 3- to 4-inch squares, with skin intact. Score the flesh with crosshatch cuts about 1/2 inch deep. Rub all over with olive oil.
• Set the pieces, skin side down, on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 45 minutes, or until easily pierced with knife and lightly browned. Serve hot or at room temperature, sprinkled with balsamic vinegar.
