Butternut Mash

butternut, peeled & cubed (or I just buy a bag peeled & cubed from Woolworths)

1 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter (or more if you prefer)
splash of milk
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place the squash in a pan full of cold water with a teaspoon of salt.

Bring to the boil and cook for 10-15 minutes. Drain and place back in the pan.

With a potato masher or ricer, mash the squash.

Add the butter, milk, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and serve.
