    Roasted Acorn Squash in butter with light caramelized flavor and texture combined with roasted garlic, herbs, cream, and Parmesan cheese will simply make you go crazy! This recipe is a win for all garlic and squash lovers. 

    When squash are in season, I make sure I pick them up during every grocery shopping trip and prepare some recipe or the other. Either the dish gets over in no time or I don't find time to post the recipe with my current busy schedule. I am really sorry about that.

    I could not stop sharing the recipe below. I cannot count the number of times I have prepared this. It's that good.  And the sauce is super creamy and tasty. You can roast any type of squash and toss it in the sauce. My personal favorites are acorn squash, butternut squash and even pumpkin. I generally prepare some extra sauce so that I can toss it with pasta or use it as a dip for bread. The sauce tastes great anyway and the options with this sauce is endless. You can even toss it with chicken, shrimp, salmon, mushroom....

    To prepare Roasted Acorn Squash in Garlic Cream Sauce, first cut the squash lengthwise and then slice them into approx ½ to ¾ inch slices. Approx 20 slices.

    I have pan roasted the acorn squash. To do that use a wide pan , add butter and place the squash on single layer. Sprinkle salt. Cook them on medium flame for 5 minutes. Then, switch the flame to low, cover the pan and cook for another 10 minutes. This will give it a nice caramelized texture.

    Meanwhile, you can prepare garlic cream sauce. In another pan, add butter and melt. Then, add the chopped garlic cloves and saute till it turns golden in color. Stir flour and cook by stirring it continuously till flour is incorporated for another 1 minute.

    Now add milk, cream, bouillon, dried oregano, basil, pepper to taste, salt to taste and continue stirring till the sauce thickens - for about 3 to 5 minutes. Now, add the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring for another 3 to 5 minutes till it is incorporated with the sauce.
