Butternut Squash In Potato Cannelloni Recipes

Steps:

• To make filling, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet with sides over medium heat. Add onion; cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add squash cubes; cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, cumin, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup water. Reduce heat, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Mash mixture with potato masher or wooden spoon, and transfer to a medium bowl to cool. When cool, stir in Parmesan and ricotta. Set aside in refrigerator until ready to assemble.
• Wash the spinach or greens well. Remove and discard stems. Roughly chop spinach into smaller pieces. Heat remaining tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach a little at a time; cook, tossing, until wilted and any liquid has evaporated. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the olive oil and remaining tablespoon coarse salt. One at a time, add pasta sheets to boiling water, and cook until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's instructions. Remove the pasta sheets with tongs, and drain them in a colander.
• To assemble the cannelloni, lay out the pasta sheets on work surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup filling down the center of a sheet, and top with a heaping tablespoon of spinach. Brush one long side of pasta with water, roll up, starting with other long side, and seal. Repeat with the remaining pasta and filling. Spread half of the sage-walnut cream sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Place the cannelloni in the bottom of the dish, and cover with remaining sauce. Garnish with a few sage leaves. Bake until top starts to brown and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Thinly slice the potato lengthways. You need about 15 slices - make extra in case you break a few. Trim the sides to make 6 x 12cm rectangles. Blanch in salted boiling water for 1 min, then remove and set aside. Blanch the 25g each squash, swede and pumpkin for 1 min. Refresh in cold water, drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan. Cook the remaining swede for a few mins until slightly coloured, then add the remaining squash and pumpkin and fry until lightly browned. Add the 25g butter and onion and cook for 5 mins, then add the garlic, rosemary, sage and some seasoning. Cover and cook for 5-10 mins until the veg are soft. Set aside
• For the chestnut purée, heat the butter in a pan until foaming, then cook the chestnuts until golden and caramelised. Remove a few for the garnish, then add the stock and bring to the boil. Blend until smooth, then season.
• To assemble cannelloni, brush potato slices with clarified butter on both sides. Place a spoonful of squash mix on one end of each slice and roll up. (Don't overfill or they won't hold their shape.) Sit them on a tray lined with baking parchment, seam-side down, cover, set aside or chill.
• To serve, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Cook cannelloni on the tray for 10-12 mins, then brown under a low grill.
• Meanwhile, for the tempura sage, whisk together the flour, cornflour and sparkling water. Heat a layer of vegetable oil in a small, deep saucepan. Dip the sage leaves in the batter, then fry until crispy. Remove to kitchen paper, lightly season and keep warm.
• Heat the remaining tbsp olive oil and fry the reserved vegetables until golden. Season, add a little butter and the reserved chestnuts, and keep warm. Reheat the chestnut purée, then spread onto 2-3 plates. Arrange some cannelloni, vegetable mix and tempura sage on top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut butternut squash in half and scrape out seeds with spoon. Add squash halves to baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast squash until tender, about 45 minutes to 60 minutes. Let cool completely. Spoon the butternut squash flesh from skin. Discard skins. Add roasted butternut squash, egg, ricotta, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to food processor. Pulse until smooth. If butternut squash filling feels loose, add 1/2 cup more grated Parmesan. Set aside. Make Sage Cream Sauce Add butter to saucepan over medium heat. When butter melts, add shallot and sage. Cook until shallot starts to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour and stir to combine to make a roux. Continue to cook and stir the roux, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in wine, stock and whipping cream. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking often, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Sage Cream Sauce Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish. Cut pasta sheets into 5 1/2-inch x 6-inch rectangles. (You'll need about 12 to 16 rectangles). Blanch pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Transfer to baking sheet or tray lined with clean tea towels. Add sauce to baking dish. Add filling to cooked pasta rectangles and roll up. Add cannelloni seam side down to baking dish. Cover with grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese. Bake until sauce bubbles, filling is hot and cheese is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Garnish cannelloni with toasted walnuts and chopped sage, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, ginger, nutmeg, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add the butternut squash and simmer until the potatoes and squash are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat, discard the thyme and let cool at least 5 minutes. Carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill blender more than halfway full).
• Stir in the cream and reheat the soup if necessary, adjusting the consistency with water and seasoning with additional salt and pepper.
• Serve hot drizzled with more cream if using and a sprinkled with pepitas and thyme.
