For quick and easy, cube your butternut squash and put into a microwave dish with a lid. Microwave for about 10 mins on high. Remove, and drain any water. Microwave again for between 5 and 10 mins (you want to be able to mash the squash when it's cooked).

Add butter and brown sugar (I use a lot of each ), and HAND MASH.

Done. And delicious. I cook this about every two weeks all season.
