Tips

  • Best of Season: When fresh squash is in season, use it instead of the frozen squash. Cut 2 lb. fresh squash into cubes. Cook in boiling water for 30 minutes or until tender; drain. Continue as directed.
  • Nutrition Bonus: In just 20 minutes, you can have this hearty side dish on the table – from start to finish! And, the winter squash is a good source of vitamins A and C.
