Sea Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Superlake has a selection of winter squashes back with the vegetables. Most of them are small butternuts, but there are also large pumpkins and decorative gourds. I think there were a few spaghetti squash also. Well, I thought it was novel enough to report. Usually these things sell out quickly and aren't restocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdrja Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I baked one of their small spaghetti squashes last week and it was really good. Going back for another tomorrow - hope they still have them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensley Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I will bite, never had a butternut squash, sounds like they are a bit sweet, what are your favorite recipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajijiccharlie Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 A butternut squash is a "winter squash". It has a dense orange flesh and I treat it like any pumpkin squash. I like to peel off the skin. Scoop out the seeds. Cut it into large cubes. Toss it in olive oil with minced garlic. Spread it on a pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Bake until tender and a little brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 cut in half, scoop out seeds add butter/brownsugar, bake 1 hour+/- 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 cut in half, scoop out seeds add butter/brownsugar, bake 1 hour+/- 350 Yes, that's my no fail solution to most winter squash. Sometimes started by face down in a water bath in the oven for a while. Peeling them is a major hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 cut in half, scoop out seeds add butter/brownsugar, bake 1 hour+/- 350 Or-- cut in half lengthwise, put cut-side down in a little water and microwave for 8-10 mins. It is then easy to scoop out and then add your butter and brown sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
