Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Cut the squash into wedges and deseed. Toss with olive oil in a large baking tray, add garlic, then roast for 40 minutes, turning once.
- Meanwhile, heat a glug of olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the breadcrumbs and rosemary until golden, then tip into a bowl. Heat another glug of oil in the pan. Add the onions, season and fry until soft. Add the butter beans, drained. Add half a tin of water and bubble until it evaporates.
- Once the garlic has had 30 minutes in the oven, remove it and squeeze the flesh into the beans. Whizz in a food processor with the mascarpone and the lemon juice until smooth. Taste and season, then serve with the squash wedges, scattered with the breadcrumbs.
