So yesterday I accidentally bought a butternut squash when I was trying to buy a spaghetti squash!!
I contemplated roasting it and then I thought about butternut squash soup, which I love. When I looked up my favorite recipe in The Joy of Cooking, I saw a recipe for butternut squash puree, something I like a lot but never made - so I decided to go for it!
It was pretty easy and didn't require too much work after baking the squash til it was mashable. Then I added a tablespoon of butter and mashed that in. From there, I added a clove of garlic and parsley - diced and chopped, respectively - and mashed it all together again. Then, I added 2% milk (you can use whole or cream) and mixed that in until it was creamy. I tasted it and it definitely needed salt! And then - it was great. A delicious savory puree to serve as a side with any protein.
Here's to making mistakes! (Buying the wrong squash).
