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

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
