I have butternut squashs but apart from soup don't know what else to do with them.  Would like to make a cake or pie - anybody got any ideas??

I used some in a vegetable lasagne .stuck it in with some peppers and mush and onions . made enough for 2 days. Was gonna freeze one but it was so nice that we had it again the day after with a lovely baked Nadine potato

we roast them mainly.

Also use in risotto - dice and fry before adding to the risotto or we sometimes roast a larger amount and put the left-overs in. Add other veg if you wish, eg peas, peppers.

I cut them in half. Take out the seeds. slash them about an inch deep criss cross fashion. oil them and add seasoning. give them a rub in. lay them flat on a roasting tray & cover with foil. Bake them and eat them. Easy peesy! Love it!
can't wait to grow some this year. Last lot I grew were quite small though. Will try the cobnut version this time.

I've love them roasted in the oven with maple syrup drizzled over them in the final minutes.

Also tasty oven roasted and then grate cheese over them and let go golden.
