Method

Heat the oven to 400F, 200C, gas 6. Put the squash into a roasting trat and toss with the oil and sage. Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until tender.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the spinach and blanch for 30 seconds, then drain and refresh under cold water. Drain again and squeeze out any excess moisture. Chop roughly.
Beat the egg with the cream in a mixing bowl and add the spinach and the crumbled cheese. Season well with salt and pepper.
When the squash is cooked, add it to the spinach mixture and transfer it all to a baking dish.
Lower the oven temperature to 275F, 140C, gas 1 and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until almost firm to the touch but still with a slight wobble.
When ready, sprinkle with the walnuts and serve.
