Ingredients
2 ½ cups — butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon — olive oil
1 tablespoon — unsalted butter
⅓ cup — onion, finely chopped
3 cloves — garlic, minced
⅓ — apple, peeled and chopped
1 cup — chicken broth
⅓ cup — milk
⅓ cup — Italian cheese blend (Parmesan, Asiago, and Romano)
undefined — salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- Place squash in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Cooked squash should equal 2 cups.
- Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion, garlic, and apple. Stir frequently until softened and brown, about 15 minutes. Add butternut squash and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add milk and cheese. Stir until cheese melts and sauce reaches desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
