Who knew! Butternut squash

[ThinWomansBrain]

I like butternut squash - but often buy it, then don't use it because it's so difficult to cut and prepare. I either just not making the dish, or buying cut and prepared squash from Waitrose.

I used a recipe kit today - risotto with mushrooms, butternut squash and bacon (Tesco, v good) - the life changing news was revealed - you can cook the squash in it's skin and then scoop the flesh out.

Am I the only person if the world not to have known this?

You can do similar with sweet potato.

Stick in the microwave for 5 mins, turn over and cook for another 5 mins.

Cut the sweet potato in half and squeeze out the the 'mash'.
