🧂 Ingredients

1 butternut squash,

peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks (about 8 cups)
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Tablespoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1 Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Place the butternut squash cubes in a steamer
basket and steam until tender, about 15 minutes.
2 While the squash is cooking, heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter,
let it melt and start to foam. Stir frequently until the butter becomes golden
in color and some brown bits start to collect at the bottom. Be careful not to
burn the butter.
3 Remove from the heat, and add the sage. The butter will foam slightly when you
do this.
4 Add the cooked butternut squash to a blender or food processor, then add the
sage-butter mixture, salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Puree until smooth.
5 If the puree is a bit to liquidy, return to a pan and cook off some of the
liquid.
6 Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
