The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Cut the squash into pieces and scrape out the insides.

  3. Place the squash pieces in a baking dish.

Bake and serve

  1. Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the thickness of the squash.

  2. Serve with salt and butter.
