Want some mom hacks to make this meal more convenient?
Purchase frozen chopped butternut squash when butternut squash is not in season. They will already be pre-chopped and flash frozen during peak season, to have more sweetness and nutrient content.
If you don’t have access to feta, use 2 cups of cottage cheese instead.
Make a double batch and freeze one batch. On a busy night, just pop the portion in the oven for 30 mins.
