Have you ever tasted butternut squash?
it is sooo delicious – It tastes like pumpkin.. Which it also is .. (It is a mix between a squash & a pumpkin)
A butternut squash tastes very sweet, just like a hokkaido pumpkin ♥
Some days ago, I made a puré of my butternut squash, and it was delicious.
You can use the puré for a lot of things:
- As baby food
- In cakes
- As pasta sauce
- As a snack
I have used the puré for cupcakes & pasta sauce – Recipes will be posted later.
