Number of people: Serves 4
Cook the cubed squash for 20 minutes in water or steam. Weigh everything first, then cut pieces of the same size so they cook evenly. Keep the trimmings aside until the end, in case you need to adjust. Amount for this step: 1 kg squash.
Roughly mash it with the cream, garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Blend in short pulses, scraping down the sides. Taste, adjust the salt and pepper, and thin with a little liquid if it is too thick. Amount for this step: Nutmeg.
Pour into a dish and sprinkle with cheese. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described. Amount for this step: 60 g grated cheese.
20 minutes at 190°C. Preheat the oven to the temperature given, with the rack in the middle. Only open the door if the recipe says so: the dish is ready when it is golden and the time is up.
