Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream

1 Tbsp. Black Garlic Salt, plus more to sprinkle

1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 small butternut squash, peeled, halved, and sliced thin 1 red onion, halved and sliced thin 5 oz. baby spinach 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together heavy cream, Black Garlic Salt, and cornstarch. In a 9x13 baking dish, pour in just enough cream mixture to cover bottom of dish. Reserving half of each ingredient for a second layer, layer butternut squash slices, slightly overlapping each piece, in the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of red onion, a layer of spinach, a layer of mozzarella, and a layer of cream mixture. Repeat all layers with remaining ingredients. Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 40 to 45 min., or until butternut squash is fork-tender, top is lightly browned, and sides are bubbling. Sprinkle with Black Garlic Salt to taste. Serve warm.
