For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. To make brown butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns a nutty brown color and smells fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra warmth.
A drizzle of maple syrup can add a touch of sweetness if desired.
This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.

Dec 25, 2024Absolutely delicious! The texture was so creamy, and the flavor was perfect. I added a little maple syrup, as suggested, and it was a hit!

Aug 9, 2024I used acorn squash instead of butternut, and it was still delicious. A great way to use up whatever winter squash you have on hand.
