Instructions
- As seen on: Giada in Italy, Episode 11. Sunday Supper.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil and the salt. Set aside.
- Place the squash wedges on a rimed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the rosemary sprigs and garlic. Cover the tray tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil. Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the tip of a knife goes into the squash easily. Remove the tray from the oven drizzle 3/4 of the vinaigrette over the squash and allow it to cool and absorb the dressing for about 10 minutes.
- To the bowl with the remaining dressing, add the cherries, pistachios and arugula. Toss gently to coat. Place the marinated squash wedges on a platter and top with the dressed greens. Sprinkle with crumbled gorgonzola and serve.
