So I roasted a butternut squash...now what?

I was going to mix it with potato for a Shepherd's pie topping but would quite like to do something different.

Does anyone have any lovely recipes that call for squishy roasted butternut squash?

Gnocchi, roasted butternut squash, spinach (just let it wilt over warm gnocchi) goats' cheese and lots of black pepper. Delicious!

Mash and add Dried chilli, sage or thyme, butter and strong cheddar.

You can use as pasta sauce (dada a bit of cream to loosen it)
Or tortellini filling, or just as a side.
It's so lovely

Thought of another I had as a stater on holiday.

Cut into chunks and served with crumbled blue cheese, fresh thyme and roast pecans on top. And some warm fancy bread on the side. And loads of peppery olive oil on top.

If you haven't seasoned it you can put it in cakes. Can't link here but there's a Simon rimmer recipe on the good food websites for banana, pecan and butternut squash loaf and its really nice.

I second rotolo. It's bloody delicious. But a bit tricky to make. Use fresh lasagne. That's where I failed as only had dry.

Rotolo does sound amazing. That's one to try next time. Have made what you suggested YouMakeMeHappy with cream as a pasta sauce. Looking forward to getting the kids in bed so I can tuck in!

Fill it with cauliflower cheese and bake some more. Had it at a restaurant once and it was amazing! Served with roast potatoes and veg. I really fancy it now!

Well it was halved, not a whole one. If that makes sense.

Another recommendation for JO's rotolo. A big favourite in our house!

Lamb and butternut squash is a lovely, lovely combination.

So hungry.

YouMakeMeHappy...made it but couldn't eat it because I was fasting yesterday!

Planning to warm up and add the cream tonight. Only have my younger, non-fussy DCs for tea tonight so will try them with it too!
