Baked Butternut Squash Cheesy Polenta

20161129_120530

More autumn-themed dishes. This polenta combines baked squash with caramelized onions, roasted pine nuts, tons of cheese (I had leftover cheese cubes galore!). The toppings are leeks, mushrooms and just a little but of prosciutto (honestly, it doesn’t need the meat at all).

What gives the dish its umph are the caramelized onions. The more the better! And by the way – instant polenta worked well too. I am not sure it needed all 3 hours of resting and a whole hour in the oven. But it does need to wait 20 minutes after that, if you want just the right gooey cheese texture.
