The kind of Italian plate you make on repeat. garlic and basil, a proper braise, and a finish of fresh herbs.
Free to cook
Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the garlic and basil elements, and pat the squash dry so it colours well.
Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the butternut squash and braise until it takes on colour and the edges catch, 4 to 6 minutes.
Stir in the parmesan and the rest of the garlic and basil flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
