This recipe will work with many kinds of winter squash. I have always thought that butternut is the queen of squash but if you asked my grandmother she would said the Hubbard is the only way to go. Unfortunately Hubbard squash are not readily available and are huge!
Ingredients

- Oil or butter a glass baking dish. Place the squash, skin side up in the dish and bake 30 to 45 minutes until tender. Remove from the oven and put a medallion of Shiitake Ginger Chef Butter in each cavity. Return to oven until melted.
