 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/4   lb           Butternut squash
    3/4   c            Onion (1 md) -- sliced
      3   tb           Fresh ginger -- coarsely grated
      2   tb           Unsalted butter

 Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out and discard the
 seeds. Bake the squash, cut side down, on a lightly oiled baking
 sheet in a preheated 400°F oven for 40 minutes or until it is
 tender. When it is cool enough to handle, scoop out all the pulp.
 While the squash is baking, in a skillet cook the onion and the
 ginger in the butter over low heat, stirring, until the onion is
 softened. Puree the onion mixture with the squash pulp in a food
 processor and add salt and pepper to taste.
