What are some of your favorite ways to prepare butternut squash, OTHER than soup? I love it but I'm getting tired of soup. Thanks!

Cube it (1" cubes) and toss with Olive Oil, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and a little balsamic vinegar and roast at 425 until it's done (20-30 minutes).

We cube it and roast it, too, but my husband has been adding cumin and cinnamon and Penzey's sweet curry powder. C'est bon!

OK, part of that is a lie. I don't cube it. I buy it from Albertson's already cubed. And the "we" is a lie, too. My husband does it.

I used some in a pumpkin curry a few weeks ago and thought it was excellent.

Another vote for roasted. As others have suggested, you can season the squash with a variety of seasonings...savory, sweet or a mixture of both.

You can treat it somewhat like a potato and make twice baked or mashed. I've seen it mixed with pasta, as well, though I don't care for those two textures together.

I like to cut them in half, scoop out the seeds. Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice. Put a pat of butter and a sprinkle of brown sugar in the hole and finish with raisins or cranraisins and some breadcrumbs.

Then bake until done.

This. We are doing this tonight actually. I find smaller cubes are more enjoyable. 1cm cubes probably (as compared the the 1in suggestion).

Put a cup of dry white wine in with the cubed butternut squash when making the risotto. Makes a nice difference.

Veggie curry or black bean and roasted butternut squash burrito.

Domenica has a pizza with a puréed carrot base. Could do same with the squash.

I made this lasagna a couple of years ago and loved it.

Sautee with some Zucchini, then mix with some roasted tomatoes, black beans and brown rice, etc

I don't remember the exact recipe because it was a while back, but...

Cut butternut squash in half, roast it up and add stuffing in the middle. I used quiona, vegetables, mushrooms and spices (and cheese when I still consumed dairy). You could add ground meat or anything you prefer.

I cooked the stuffing seperately then stuffed when the squash was ready.

Or roasted butternut with your preference of butter and cinnamon.

I just emailed my gf that link and her response included a bunch of exclamation points. Says she's going to the store immediately after work and getting everything to make it tonight. Thanks!
