How To Make butternut squash pot pie

Test Kitchen Tips
Since it has wheat flour, the crust dough will be crumbly at first. We rolled it to 1/8" thick.
  • Flours, salt, thyme, oregano, pepper, and sugar in a bowl.
    1
    CRUST: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, thyme, oregano, pepper, and sugar.
  • Flour mixture, oil, and butter in food processor.
    2
    Pour into a food processor. Add butter and olive oil. Pulse until the flour is crumbly.
  • Adding water to the food processor.
    3
    Add in water and pulse until the dough pulls away from the sides of the food processor.
  • Kneading dough.
    4
    Turn the dough out onto a floured sheet and knead it into a ball.
  • Dough wrapped in plastic wrap.
    5
    Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Note: This can be done up to five days in advance. This also makes more crust than absolutely necessary.
  • Cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
    6
    FILLING: Toss the butternut squash with enough olive oil to lightly coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Roasting the butternut squash.
    7
    Spread on a greased baking sheet and roast in a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Melting the buttery spread.
    8
    SAUCE: In a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat, melt the buttery spread.
  • Cooking the onions.
    9
    Add in the onion and cook. Stir occasionally until the onion is translucent.
  • Flour added to the cooked onions.
    10
    Add in the flour and stir continuously for one minute.
  • Whisk in vegetable broth.
    11
    Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, whisking continuously.
  • Evaporated milk, white wine, thyme, and rosemary added.
    12
    Add in evaporated milk, white wine, thyme, and rosemary. Stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow mixture to simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the roasted butternut squash with the steamed vegetables.
    13
    In a large bowl, mix the roasted butternut squash with the steamed vegetables.
  • Stir in sauce.
    14
    Stir in the prepared sauce.
  • Mixture poured into a casserole dish.
    15
    Pour the mixture into a casserole dish (10-inch deep pie plate or square dish).
  • Rolling out the crust.
    16
    On a floured surface, roll out the dough so that it is large enough to extend slightly over the edges of the dish.
  • Crust placed over the casserole dish.
    17
    Carefully place the dough over the dish.
  • Edges crimped and a slice cut into the crust.
    18
    Crimp edges down with a fork. Slit a hole in the middle of the dish, so that steam is able to escape.
  • Baking the pot pie.
    19
    Bake in a 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned.
