Steps:
- 1. Layer all of your ingredients and lightly sprinkleing with the bread crumb mixture.
- 2. Top with a good layer of the bread crumb mixture and bake covered at 400 degree for about 20-30 minutes or until the squash is very tender. Take cover off and lightly brown the top with the broiler on for about 5 minutes
- 3. Enjoy! *Tip I strongly advise everyone to make my Osso Bucco Sauce and store servings in the freezer to be able to make my delicious dishes that call for Osso Bucco Sauce. There is no sauce that tastes as good as the Osso Bucco Sauce. You can try and make a spaghetti sauce and adding some beef broth and wine to it and that would work too, but the Osso Bucco Sauce is by far the best and you will make again once you make it. And you will use it to make different recipes like I do.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash. Butternuts, acorn squash, and zucchini are all good choices for this dish, but you can use any type of squash you like. Just make sure it's firm and ripe.
- Don't overcook the squash. The squash should be tender, but not mushy. Cook it until it can be easily pierced with a fork, but still holds its shape.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar are all good choices.
- Add some herbs and spices. Italian seasoning, oregano, basil, and garlic powder are all good choices for this dish. You can also add some salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make this dish, so don't be afraid to experiment and find the combination of ingredients that you like the best.
Conclusion:
Italian squash casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this Italian squash casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
