How to Make Pan Sauteed Butternut Squash Pears And Sage

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash. Peel, core, and thinly slice the pears.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash and pears with olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped sage.
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium heat. Add the butternut squash and pear mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften and brown slightly, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Add butter to the skillet and stir to combine. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
  7. Optional: Top with Gorgonzola crumbles before serving.
