What can I substitute Butternut Squash with?

[Snappedwife]

Really cross with myself.

Went out yesterday and bought all the ingredients for making slimmingworld Smokey Sausage one pot (basically a sausage casserole made with tinned tomatoes, paprika, fennel seeds and basil and butternut squash amongst a few other ingredients).

Except I stupidly forgot to buy the butternut squash. I have a poorly child at home today and live a good 25 minutes drive from my local supermarket. I may get the chance to pop out to my local small co op later though. What would you suggest I replace the butternut squash with?? As I very much doubt my local shop will have them in.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

nothing? you dont NEED it do you? just have more other veg with

sweet potato
carrots
parsnips

lentils or some tinned beans would be nice

potatoes would prob be fine, or mix of carrots and potatoes

or do the whole thing without and have as a pasta sauce?? i make one very like your list of ingredients
