You're welcome I cook a lot of butternut squash. It's very tasty! It's
good scooped out of the shell and mashed with just butter, salt & pepper.
Some folks like to turn it into a sweet thing and add brown sugar and
pumpkin pie-like seasonings. However you like it, an hour if it's split in
half should do the trick unless the squash is really large. Oh, and scoop
the seeds and pulp out of the squash before roasting it.
