Simply cut the squash in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and either microwave it (cut side down with 1/2 cup of water for 8-10 minutes), or roast it (cut side down drizzled or sprayed with a little olive oil for 40 minutes at 400 degrees). Once it cools down a little, scrape the "meat" out from the shell and puree it in the food processor. Any leftover pureed squash makes a great side dish to any meal with just a little garlic and olive oil mixed in. Deborah-

Is there anything I could use as a substitute? I would love to try this dish but I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find pureed squash. Is there anything I could use as a substitute?

The butternut squash takes the place of the heavy cream and butter in traditional mac and cheese to bind, thicken and add texture. If you chop a few good sized zucchini and throw them into the baking dish before it goes in the oven, you will probably get the best results. Also, I know how it feels to be overrun with zucchini!!! I'll get a few great zucchini dishes together and get them up for you later this week! -Shannon Emily -

Just found your website, and I think your recipes are great; I made the peach muffins recently and was very pleased! Could I replace the butternut squash in this recipe with with pureed Zucchini? I have so many kicking around from my garden and need to use them up! Thanks! Hi! Just found your website, and I think your recipes are great; I made the peach muffins recently and was very pleased!
