I love butternut squash. Anybody have any good recipes?

Roast it along with some tomatoes and red peppers. Blitz them and cook with a small amount of stock and seasoning to make a delicious soup!

I made this last week: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/butternut-squash-and-apple-soup-recipe.html#!

In our outdoor grilling season, I slice the butternut squash into circles - like hamburgers - don't even bother to peel them - and grill them as if they were hamburgers. The base where the seeds are, cleaned out, makes rings to grill.

I haven't met a butternut I didn't like. All squash, all the time.

I am making twice baked butternut squash, with ricotta salata, parmesan, onions, and sage tonight. New recipe I found and tweeked. Excited!

Roast BNS and Chickpeas make an awesome Thai green curry.
I also like roast BNS in a risotto.
I've used it raw and thinly sliced (before baking) as an alternative to pasta sheets in a lasagna too.

We use a ton of butternut squash. My dogs love it. This is how I cook it for us -

In a white-type lasagna, use roasted/mashed as a layer on its own, or blend with the ricotta layer. Or season the ricotta/squash mix and use it to stuff shells or lasagna roll-ups, or mix with eggs, white beans (and/or chicken or something - I don't eat meat) and use to fill any vegetable that you like to stuff (zucchini, cabbage leaves, etc.)

Or, stuff the squash itself. I've known omnivores to make a ground-sausage stuffing for squash. As a veg, I'd probably use beans, onions, celery, garlic, chopped sage leaves (squash is excellent with sage), maybe a few walnuts, and probably some cheese.

Make squash soup with pureed white beans, some pureed pepitas (hull-less, of course) or sunflower seeds, browned onions, some kind of smoked hot peppers (chipotle or what-have-you).

Make custard with eggs and milk and squash (similar to a pumpkin pie filling), and savory or sweet spices. If savory, you could think of it as sort of a crustless squash quiche, and include some cheese.

I have some pear/cinnamon balsamic vinegar someone gave me - it's delicious on squash.

I love butternut squash, but I got some heirloom pink banana squash at the farmers market this year that was the best winter squash I've ever eaten. Some of the newly-widely available types like Carnival and Delicata are pretty darn good, too. There was even something at the farmers market this year called "while potato acorn" that was extremely mild-flavored, such that it could substitute for mashed potatoes. I have some in the freezer still that I'm planning to try as a shepherd's pie topping.

Butternut Squash and Bacon Risitto :
Peel and cube the squash then boil it til it's soft enough to eat.
Prepare chicken stock
Fry a diced up onion.
Cut the fat off the (back) bacon and either grill or you can fry with the onion.
When cooked put the above aside.
Start cooking the rice. (Using the stock)
When the rice is nearly done then put the rest of the ingredients in, and make sure they're reheated before serving, season if required.
Enjoy x

These all look great. Thanks everyone!

I've made soups and pies with squash but my favourite way to eat it is to simply to peel it, scoop out the seeds, cut it into small chunks, steam it and eat it with salt and pepper. Fall is my favourite time of year around here as you can find endless butternut squash for $1.00. I buy them by the dozen, cook and freeze them and eat it all winter long. Low calories, high flavour and nutrition. Hard to beat.

I cubed it and roasted it in coconut oil with chunks of apple and some cinnamon for a tasty side. My kids love it.

both of those ideas!

I love using it in protein pancakes/waffles (in place of pumpkin)

..pretty much any place you'd use Pumpkin! Soup is yum (roasted first to give the soup a delicious flavour), or roasted with dinner, or in a salad with walnuts, feta or goats cheese and balsamic
