Pork with cheese sauce and butternut squash

So its back to the food that M can eat since she's back from her course. I wonder when I will be able to have spicy or Chinese food. I was introduced to butternut squash mash in a Scottish Restaurant in Perth and from then on, mashed potatoes just don't do the trick for me. Butternut squash mash looks better as well.

Cut the butternut squash into chucks, season with salt and black pepper, drizzle some olive oil over it and roast it in the oven till its soft. Mash the butternut squash, add olive oil to give it a bit of consistency and season. This goes really well with a cheese sauce; I love the contrasts, the sweetness of the mash and the savory taste of the cheese sauce. So for the pork, season it with salt, pepper and sage and brown it on both sides. Remove from the pan and add white wine. Boil until its reduced by half, then add in cream and cheddar cheese. Return the pork to the pan and simmer till its cooked.
