NOTES:
To bake butternut squash or sugar pumpkin, cut the squash or pumpkin in half and then scoop out the seeds and fibers. Put the halves in a foil-lined, shallow baking dish with insides face up. Cover the dish tightly with more foil. Bake for 40-50 minutes. When the halves have cooled, scoop out the pulp and discard the skin.
