Four-Cheese Stuffed Butternut Squash

This is a great meat-free entre-serve a halved squash per person. For buffets, place a serving spoon in front of a platter of stuffed squash and guests can scoop servings of the filling from the squash shells.

1 head garlic, roasted

2 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

Olive oil, for brushing

Salt and pepper

Freshly grated nutmeg

1 1/2 cups fresh ricotta cheese

3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

1 tablespoon grated orange or lemon zest

1 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese

1 cup freshly grated pecorino cheese

1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Roast the garlic. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic out of the skins into a bowl and mash the garlic cloves to a paste. At the same time as the garlic is roasting, brush the squash with EVOO and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Roast the squash until just tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Leave the oven on.

When the squash is cool enough to handle, carefully scrape out the flesh into a bowl, leaving just enough flesh to keep the shells intact. Add the garlic paste, ricotta, thyme, lemon zest, and 3/4 cup each of the cheddar, pecorino, and Parm to the bowl with the squash flesh and mix well. Fill the squash shells and top with the remaining cheese. Bake until browned and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.

Serves 8 as a side dish or 4 as a main

Roasted Whole Cauliflower

This dish is an essential. It is beautiful, simple, and a perfect backdrop for any flavor combination. What follows is the basic recipe for roasting a whole head of cauliflower, plus four different coating ideas. But try out your own versions and inspirations with this impressive dish.

1 large head cauliflower, leaves trimmed and core cut away

1 cup chicken or vegetable stock

Salt and pepper

Coating of choice (recipes follow)

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375F.

Place the whole cauliflower in a shallow baking dish, add the stock and season with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with foil and roast for 1 hour.

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 450F. Remove the foil from the cauliflower and spread with the coating of choice. Return it to the oven to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ricotta Cream and Thyme Coating

1 cup fresh cow or sheep's milk ricotta cheese, drained

2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream

2 tablespoons EVOO

3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

Kosher or sea salt and coarsely ground pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

In a small bowl, stir the ricotta with a little cream to make it more spreadable. Stir in the EVOO and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the Parm.

When the basic cauliflower recipe directs you to do so, spread on the coating. Sprinkle the cauliflower with the remaining 1/4 cup Parm and continue as directed.
