Mashed Butternut Squash makes for a delicious side dish. It also provides a great change of pace from the usual side items like mashed potatoes. I like to serve Mashed Butternut Squash with our Herbed Pork Chops with Mushroom Gravy.<\/a> The sweetness of the butternut squash compliments the herbed pork chops beautifully. That dish reminds me of the Thanksgiving flavors that are so warm and comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make Butternut Squash many different ways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to mashing it, there are lots of ways you can use butternut squash. You can swap butternut squash for potatoes when making homemade fries or your favorite hash recipe. Why not top salads with roasted butternut squash<\/a> for a boost of fiber? You can even add pureed butternut squash to baked goods, such as bread and muffins. Or try it simply fried and served cold with a marinade of vinegar, oil, garlic and mint with a touch of chili.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butternut squash is low in calories, but high in many nutrients. Those nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe and I throw a lot of lunch and dinner parties. We try not to get in a rut, but you have to make items that will hold well. When it comes to side items mashed butternut squash is a really good option. You can eat it as is, but it also can be topped with whatever sauce or gravy might go along with your entr\u00e9e. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While traveling through Italy, we learned that many dishes the Italians referred to as pumpkin were, in reality, butternut squash. Different regions of Italy use butternut squash in a variety of ways including both sweet and savory applications. One of the best know dishes on both sides of the Atlantic is pumpkin (really butternut squash) ravioli. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
