Squashed Squash ( Hubbard Or Butternut )

1. 1

   Pierce the squash in several spots with a fork or skewer.

2. 2

   Place on a microwave-safe plate and place in the microwave; cook on High until squash is soft, about 8 minutes.

3. 3

   Alternatively, you can do this in the oven: poke it as above, and roast at 400F for about 45 minutes.

4. 4

   Cut cooked squash in half, scoop out and discard seeds, then scoop all the flesh into a mixing bowl.

5. 5

   Add the butter and nutmeg, and mash well.

6. 6

   Taste; add salt and pepper if desired; serve.

7. 7

   A wee bit of cream can also be added when mashing, if you're feeling decadent.
