Butternut Squash Casserole with Artichokes and Peas

Butternut Squash Casserole with Artichokes and Peas is a dairy-free, healthy Mediterranean dish loaded with frozen artichoke hearts, frozen peas, garlic, rosemary, and butternut squash.  This easy casserole will make the perfect side dish, add a splash of color to your plate, and will “wow” everyone who tastes it!   

Italian cooking is easy and when it comes to making casseroles not all of them have to be loaded with cheeses and heavy cream.  No need to add any extra fat or calories to this casserole.

Making this one completely Dairy-Free!!  …yay!

In fact, this year, our goal is to not only simplify our cooking skills but to create dishes that are healthy without a lot of fuss.

This happens to be an ideal casserole for busy moms like me.   I think it’s perfect for everyone.

Serve with our London Broil Steak Grilled To Perfection and a salad and dinner is done! 

Also, our recipes for our Chicken Rollatini with Prosciutto and Cheese, or Parmesan Crusted Turkey Cutlets would go perfectly with this casserole as well.

Can we use frozen butternut squash? 

 Yes, I think you certainly can with this recipe.  Look for already chopped butternut squash in the freezer section. 

Ways to use leftovers (if any)…

  •  Add some to your egg omelet for a delicious and healthy breakfast.

  •  Boil some spinach ravioli and warm up these vegetables in a skillet and serve the vegetable medley over the ravioli, topped with some grated parmesan cheese.  Or you may add a little heavy cream to the vegetables while warming up.   It will create a creamy veggie sauce to spoon over the ravioli.  YUM! 

  •  Stir them in with some cooked spaghetti and add in a little more olive oil, and some grated parmesan cheese to keep the dish moist and flavorful. 

  •  Make a quiche!  Chop the remaining vegetables and toss them into a mixing bowl, whisk in 3 eggs, some cream, and grated cheese.  Then pour the mixture into a pie crust and bake!  Perfect for next-day lunch or dinner.
