INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the squash in half through the stem or into several large pieces using a heavy chef's knife or cleaver and a rubber mallet. Scoop out the seeds and fibers with a spoon. Peel if desired. Place the squash in a steamer basket over boiling water in a large pot. Cover and steam until the squash is very tender when pierced, about 20 minutes depending on the age, variety and size of the squash. If the squash is not peeled, scrape the pulp away from the skin. Place the squash in a bowl and mash it with a fork or whisk, or use an electric mixer. The squash is ready to use as is for muffins, soups or other recipes, or season and reheat as follows: Combine puree with 1 tablespoon melted butter, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste and 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Combine puree with 1 tablespoon butter, 1 to 2 tablespoons honey, maple syrup or brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and salt and 1/4 cup toasted pecans. Pour into a small buttered baking dish and bake at 350 until heated through.
