Creamed Baked Squash

Number of servings: 2
Estimated Prep Time: 20 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Instead of dried sage you can use 1 tablespoon fresh chopped.

Use the thickest cream you can get, which would be whipping cream in North America, or even better, double-cream in the UK. Or, you could try yoghurt.


Ingredients

1 Squash
1/3 teaspoon Sage (dried)
1 clove Garlic (peeled, crushed)
1/2 cup Cream
2 tablespoons Cheese (grated)
Nutmeg
Salt
Ground Pepper





Directions


Cooking at: 400 F / 200 C / Gas Mark 6

Peel, halve lengthwise and seed the squash, then cut each half into quarters.

Lightly grease a casserole, and cook the squash pieces for 20 minutes (don't have them heaped up on top of each other, or they will take forever to cook.)

In a small saucepan melt the butter, then remove from heat and stir in the sage, garlic, salt, pepper.

At the end of the squash's 20 minutes cooking time, pour the above sauce over the pieces and then cook for another 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

In the freed-up saucepan, heat the cream and the salt, nutmeg and pepper for 3 minutes. Pour over the squash, sprinkle the grated cheese on, and put under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.

Serve hot.
