Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 dash kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 dash ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 400 °F.

  4. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until evaporated, about 1 minute.
  5. Add the broth and bring to a boil; cover the pot and transfer it to oven.

  7. Stir in the spinach, Parmesan, and butter.
