Don't know how many calories in this, but it's a Weight Watcher's recipe, so I guess it will be fairly low calorie.


Ingredients

800g (1lb 12/14oz) butternut squash, peeled and chopped

calorie controlled cooking spray

150g (5¼oz) cashews

4 slices Weight Watchers Thick Sliced Wholemeal Loaf

1 onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp each ground cinnamon and cumin

400g (14oz) mushrooms, sliced

100g (3½oz) Weight Watchers Low Fat Soft Cheese with Roasted Onion and Chive

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method

Preheat oven to gas mark 4/180°C/fan oven 160°C.

Roast the squash, misted with cooking spray, for 30 minutes.

Blitz the cashews in a processor to chop.

Blitz the Weight Watchers Thick Sliced Wholemeal Loaf to make crumbs.

Fry the onion for 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and spices and fry, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add the mushrooms and fry, stirring, for 10-15 minutes.

Mash the squash, then stir in with the Weight Watchers Low Fat Soft Cheese with Roasted Onion and Chive and parsley.

Add to the nut mixture.

Press the mixture into a 450g (1lb) loaf tin misted with cooking spray.

Bake for 1 hour.

Slice into 16 and serve 2 slices each with roast dinner trimmings.

Language barrier alert. I did not realize you were asking for a butternut squash recipe. When you asked for nuts, I was thinking pecans, walnuts etc. Silly me
