I bought some. Now what to do with it? I was reading up about it and also
watched an episode of whatever show Nick Stellino is on where he talked
about it. He said that if you roast, boil or turn it into soup, the flavors
will all be different. Makes sense.

And after learning how to peel it, I found out that I don't have to! Costco
had it peeled and cubed so all I have to do is figure out what to do with
it. I am thinking to roast it. If you make it this way, how do you do
yours? When I tried it before, I think I just cut it in slices and left the
skin on. May have used salt and pepper and maybe olive oil. But the end
result was not tasty. I want tasty!

Here's a recipe that I heard about somewhere. Not sure where. But I made it
this weekend (for 2). Cube up squash(1"). I used one cup. Put in microwave,
on high for 4 minutes. Set aside.

Cut up about 4 ounces of chanterelles. Sauté them in butter. When liquid has
dried, add pepper and set aside.

Boil up 2 ounces of pasta(I used small curly ones). Set aside.

When you are ready to serve dinner, put 3TBSP of unsalted butter in 10"
sauté pan. Heat on medium high, until browned(not burned). Immediately lower
heat and add the squash. While sautéing, add 1 tsp of ground cumin, and a
half tsp of salt. Sauté until squash starts to turn brown and caramelize.
Immediately add the pasta and stir completely. Then add the chanterelles and
stir again. Add pepper to taste, and serve.
