I've never cook butternut squash before, but I've loved it when I've had it before. So I thought, instead of buying the pre-cut stuff from Trader Hosenladin (Trader Joe's) I bought a nice organic one from Ralph's in Hollywood. I decided I was hungry and needed to incur some bodily eating. So I proceeded to make some food. I realized, as I was making the first cut into the top that it was a tough mofo and that there is a reason it is only sold pre-cut at Trader Joe's. Its hard as fuck! Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if I was sore tomorrow from cutting it into cubes. Anyway, like most of my cooking, my meal was improv'd with the stuff I had in the kitchen. It turned out pretty delish so I think I'll give you the recipe.
organic olive oil
2 organic med onions
2 cups organic water hahahah
2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 smallish med butternut squash
fresh basil
fresh mint
rosemary
salt
cayenne pepper
pepper
in a large pot, pour olive oil just enough to coat the bottom of the pot. dice onions and toss in. Carmelize onions add salt to taste at this point. pour 4 cups sauce and water into pot, stir and let simmer for a bit. add basil, mint, rosemary, salt, cayenne to taste. toss in butternut squash to cook in simmering sauce now. cook for 25 minutes or until lightly softened. Stir occasionally.
Eat.
Delish.
Improv cooking!
