2 lb. butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1" pieces

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella

1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan

Be conscious with how much cheese you add if you’re making it with a cheesy pasta

TRY MAKING IT WITH ADDING ROASTED POTATOES ALL IN ONE DISH AND THEN ADD CHEESE ON TOP!

Directions

Preheat oven to to 425°. In a large ovenproof skillet (or in a large baking dish), toss butternut squash with olive oil, garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then scatter bacon on top.

Bake until the squash is tender and the bacon is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Remove skillet from oven and top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty.

Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
