1 cup warm wheat berries, prepared according to package directions
1 cup diced butternut squash
1 egg
1/3 cup ricotta cheese (part skim or full milk)
2 teaspoons butter (divided)
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in a nonstick pan. Toss in the butternut squash chunks and sauté over medium heat until browned and soft, about 15 minutes. It should look mashed. If it doesn't, smash it a bit with the back of your spatula. Remove from heat and set aside.
Fry the egg in the remaining teaspoon of butter. Spoon the prepared wheat berries into the bottom of your serving bowl, leaving a well for the squash. Place the squash in the well, then top with ricotta, followed by the fried egg. Season with salt and pepper.
