We always get a lot of winter squash, and this is a really tastie way to use it. Winter squash is great because it's fairly easy to grow, and it lasts for a long time in storage. It's so easy in fact that we had several "accidental" squash plants that sprouted from seeds in the compost pile. You can use anykind you want, butternut, delicata, buttercup, etc. You could even use pumpkin, but don't use spaghetti squash. :)

Signing UpStep 1: Cook the Squash
There are several easy ways to prepare the squash.
You can peel it, then boil or steam it until soft.
You can also put it in the oven whole, or cut in half and take out the seeds. Then cook it until it's tender. If you cook it whole, when it's done, cut it in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Then you can scoop out the flesh.
The only problem with cooking butternut whole is the body cooks way faster than the neck, since it's hollow.
You could also used canned or frozen squash.

Thanks for the great recipe! I had a giant left over butternut squash from thanksgiving and wanted to do something with it other than make butternut squash soup ( not my cup of tea) and this was a perfect way to use it!
