Steps:
- Position an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiling element, and preheat the broiler.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, thinly slice the onion; set aside about 1/3 cup for the salad.
- Add the sausage to the pan, and break it up into smaller chunks with a wooden spoon. Stir periodically until it is brown all over, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining onion and the squash. Stir for a minute, then add the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover partially, and let simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thick, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the polenta into 1/4-inch rounds. Butter the flameproof baking dish, and shingle the rounds in one layer. Dot the polenta with the pieces of butter. Place the dish under the broiler, and broil the polenta until it is hot and soft, about 4 minutes.
- When the sauce is ready, spread it over the broiled polenta. Top with the fontina and grated Parmesan. Return the casserole to the broiler, and broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the spinach in a large bowl with the reserved onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the casserole with the spinach salad on the side.
CHEESY BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH POLENTA
Butternut squash melts into the polenta as it cooks for this creamy make-ahead dish. Once transferred to a baking dish, pressing chunks of creamy Fontina cheese into the polenta ensures that once baked it will be full of gooey pockets of cheese throughout.

Steps:
- Combine 1 Tbsp. salt and 6 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Gradually whisk in polenta, then cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until polenta just begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in squash, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until polenta is thick and no longer gritty, and squash mashes easily when pressed with the back of a spoon, 30-40 minutes.
- Mix in milk and nutmeg, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly and smashing squash with the back of spoon, until squash is dissolved into the polenta, 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan and 1/4 cup butter until melted. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add sage and cook, stirring, just until leaves are lightly crisped and darker in color, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Grease a shallow 3-qt. baking dish with butter, then transfer polenta mixture to baking dish. Scatter Fontina cheese over and press down lightly with spoon to submerge. Top with crisped sage. Let cool to room temperature, then cover and chill overnight and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Uncover dish and bake casserole until bubbly and lightly browned on top, 30-35 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
CREAMY BUTTERNUT SQUASH CASSEROLE
Substitute Grana Padano cheese for Parmesan if desired. You can cube butternut squash a food processor with the pommes frites (french fry) cutter and then just pulse it one or two times with a regular blade.

- To make this cheesy butternut squash casserole begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees and then spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray.
- Clean your butternut squash well and slice it in half, length wise. Cook for about 30 minutes or until tender. Set your butternut squash aside to cool.
- While your butternut squash is cooling, saute your white onion (finely chopped) in olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook for about ten minutes or until the onions are softened. Once the butternut squash is cooled and you can handle it, remove the seeds and skin with a carving knife. Slice the butternut squash into thin strips.

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the squash on a baking sheet skin side down. Top with the olive oil, thyme, sage, red pepper flake, if using, and season with salt. Flip the squash over and season the skin side with salt pepper and the remaining olive oil. Add the garlic cloves to the sheet pan and place into the oven, bake until a knife inserted into the center of the squash comes out with little to no resistance about 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and season liberally with salt. Cook the pasta one to two minutes less than the package calls for al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve 1/2 to one cup of the water.
- Use a spoon to scoop one half of the squash flesh into a blender along with the herbs and roasted garlic cloves removed from the skins. Add in half of the cream, pasta water, and ricotta. Season with salt and pepper and the nutmeg and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Place the mixture into a bowl and repeat with the remaining squash, cream, pasta water, and ricotta.
