I like simple cooking....for squash I usually just cut it in quarters, scoop out the seeds, then wrap it in aluminum foil and roast for about 1 hr and 15 minutes at 350 (usually while also roasting chicken, meat loaf, roast). and just eat it plain or with a little butter. my mom used to put butter and a little brown sugar in the scooped out part while roasting it in the aluminum foil....I also sometimes just scoop the cooked squash out and mash it up with a little butter, salt and pepper...yum, yum...don't really care for anything else on it. My favorite squash is butternut, buttercup, and delicate....nummy...I eat it often....
