500g Essential Butternut Squash, peeled and deseeded
1 tbsp olive oil
3 clove/s garlic, whole and unpeeled
½ tsp salt
320g puff pastry sheet
200ml No.1 French Crème Fraîche
25g Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated, plus a little extra
½ x 20g sage leaves
2 tbsp pumpkin seeds

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6, and arrange 2 shelves in the oven. Slice the squash as thinly as you can, then toss with the oil, garlic cloves and salt in a large roasting tin.
Unroll the pastry and trim away the excess paper, then set it (still on its paper) on a baking sheet. Lightly score a 2cm border around the edge and pierce the middle all over with a fork. Put the pastry on the lower shelf of the oven and the squash on the upper shelf. Bake both for 20 minutes, then set aside to cool for 5 minutes (or longer if preparing in advance).
Squeeze the garlic from the skins and mash with the crème fraîche. Stir in the 25g cheese and season. Spread this mixture over the base of the pastry (pressing it down first if it has risen a lot), then arrange the squash on top. Grate over a little more cheese, then scatter with the sage and pumpkin seeds. Roast for about 25 minutes until golden. Serve warm.
