It's fall again, and time to reinvest in my discovery of the ease and deliciousness that is butternut squash. You are likely to know this already, but I wanted to share my favorite way to make it.
Put the oven at 350 degrees, and cut the squash in half however you can. Clean out the seeds and strings. Place the squash flesh down in a pan of water with a pat of butter and some cinnamon. Cook for approximately 30-40 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn't dry out. When it's finished, scoop out the insides and add more butter, a dash of salt, cinnamon and agave nectar to taste. And if you use more, "healthy" butter, you have a tasty, healthy, wonderful meal addition! Another favorite is roasted parsnips, but that's for another post.
