Excellent job folks!

Here's a favorite recipe from Lenka.

Cheesy Squash

Wash the exterior of the winter squash or pumpkin.

Cut in half using a serrated knife.

Scoop out the seeds.

Put cut winter squash facing down in a pan filled with 2" of water. Bake at 375 F till soft.

Once the squash is somewhat cooled, scoop out flesh from the skin using a large spoon.

Put the baked winter squash into a pot with milk and cook till tender.  5 minutes before the end add grated cheddar cheese.

Puree the mixture to get it to a nice, smooth consistency with a hand blender.  Prepare in thicker consistency if you make it as a side dish, or add more milk and use it as a sauce to spaghetti (our favorite one).

Salt and pepper to taste.

Very easy and tasty.
