Instructions

  1. Cut the squash into 2 or 3big pieces and cook it into the oven with the skin at 200°C until tender. Let it cool down then peel it.

Whirl them in a blender with the squash, then add the parmesan, the paprika, salt and pepper and whirl again until all the ingredients come together. If the mixture is too wet add a little bit of chickpea flour, if it's too dry add some extra virgin olive oil or just a little bit of water.
