Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Place the squash and potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then set aside.

  4. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.

  5. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, which usually takes about 7 minutes.

  6. Add flour to the onion and garlic mixture and mix thoroughly. Cook and stir constantly until a thick paste is formed, usually 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. Pour the broth into the onion-flour mixture and whisk vigorously until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a boil, approximately 7 minutes.

  8. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme to the mixture. Pour in water and reduce the heat to a simmer.

  9. Add the baked squash and potatoes to the mixture and cook over medium heat until they become fork-tender, which typically takes about 10 minutes.

  10. Add the frozen vegetables to the broth mixture and cook until heated through, usually 3 to 4 minutes.

  11. Pour the mixture into a large baking dish.

  12. Roll out the pie dough to fit the baking dish and lay it on top. Make a few cuts in the dough to allow steam to escape.

  13. Bake in
