Toss the squash in enough oil to coat and then season. Roast in a baking dish for 30 minutes, or until tender.
Fry the onion and rosemary in 3 tbsp of oil on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Cook the kale in a pan of boiling water for 4 minutes until softened. Drain, refresh in cold water, then drain again and squeeze out any excess moisture. Finely chop.
Mix the squash, onion, kale and double cream. Season and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Mix in the blue cheese.
Unroll the pastry sheets and cut into quarters. Lay 4 pieces on a lightly greased baking tray, score a 2cm border inside the edge of each and pile the veg inside it. Dampen the pastry border with water. Cover each with a pastry piece and gently stretch to cover, pressing the edges well to seal (pull the bottom edges up and over slightly to confirm the seal). Brush the top of the vegetarian pies with beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes until crisp and golden.
