Notes
- You can buy canned butternut squash puree or make your own puree by cutting a butternut squash in half lengthwise, removing seeds, brushing with olive oil, sprinkling with 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and roasting at 400 degrees F, cut side down, for 25-35 minutes, or until tender. Then scoop out the flesh of the squash and transfer to a blender or food processor to puree.
