Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squash Prep Perfection 🔪Microwave the whole butternut squash for 2-3 minutes before cutting to soften the tough skin and make halving easier and safer.
- Sausage Texture Trick 🥘Remove sausage from its casing and break into small, uniform pieces for even cooking and better sauce integration.
- Cream Stability Secret 🥛Temper the heavy cream by slowly adding a small amount of hot sauce to prevent curdling when combining with acidic tomatoes.
- Squash Roasting Hack 🔥Score the squash flesh in a crosshatch pattern before filling to help it absorb more flavor and cook more evenly.
- Cheese Melting Mastery 🧀Mix mozzarella and Parmesan for a more complex cheese flavor, and broil for the last 2-3 minutes to achieve a golden, bubbly top.
