Ingredients
-
4 Tablespoons butter (no salt), plus extra for the dish
2 acorn squash or 1 butternut squash (4 to 4 1/2 pounds total)
2 Tablespoons finely chopped green onion (white and green parts)
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 400. Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart casserole.
Cut the squash(s) in half and remove the seeds. Place, cut side down, in the casserole and pour in boiling water to a depth of 1/4 inch.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until tender. Scoop out the squash and put in a large bowl. Drain any liquid remaining in the casserole dish. Beat until smooth and then beat in the 4 tablespoons butter, green onion, rosemary, and salt. Transfer to the casserole and sprinkle with the chopped pecans. (At this point you can cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.)
Bake, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
