Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 cups, cooked and mashed)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Squash: Cut the butternut squash in half, remove seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Once cooled, scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed squash, ricotta cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, thyme, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  4. Prepare the Pie Crust: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil. Place the pre-made pie crust into the dish, pressing it down gently to fit.
  5. Fill the Pie: Pour the squash filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This savory squash pie is a delicious and comforting dish that’s sure to please everyone at your table. It’s versatile enough to be served as a main course or a side dish. Enjoy the warm flavors of squash and cheese, and don’t hesitate to experiment with your favorite herbs and spices!
