SQUASHED SQUASH ( HUBBARD OR BUTTERNUT )
A friend phoned me this evening, asking how to do squash (she hasn't been cooking at home for long; she's always been a takeout kind of gal). So, here is the method I use, for everyone who wondered how but were afraid to ask. Go for it -- it's easy and delicious!

Steps:
- Pierce the squash in several spots with a fork or skewer.
- Place on a microwave-safe plate and place in the microwave; cook on High until squash is soft, about 8 minutes.
- Alternatively, you can do this in the oven: poke it as above, and roast at 400F for about 45 minutes.
- Cut cooked squash in half, scoop out and discard seeds, then scoop all the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Add the butter and nutmeg, and mash well.
- Taste; add salt and pepper if desired; serve.
- A wee bit of cream can also be added when mashing, if you're feeling decadent.

rk@yahoo.comThe squash was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that was because I didn't use enough salt. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow and the squash cooked perfectly. I would make it again, but I would add more salt next time.
