Creamed Butternut Squash
by CookingLow-Fat.com
While this recipe is a bit higher in fat than most of our recipes, I think the healthy squash makes up for having a little butter. You can always use reduced calorie margarine instead, to reduce the fat if you wish, but many nutritionists say real butter is healthier for us.Ingredients:
2 small-medium sized butternut squash
4 T. butter, softened
Dash of salt and pepper
Zest of 1 orange
3 T. honey
Pinch of cinnamonDirections:
Cut the squash into halves, lengthwise. Remove the seeds and rub half of the butter all over the insides. Add a dash of salt and pepper and bake (skin side down) at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, until tender.
When the squash is done, remove from oven and scoop out the insides (probably a good idea to let it cool a bit). Put in a food processor with the remaining ingredients and blend well.
Makes about 6 servings, and this is what my new recipe software program provided... I hope this helps!
