Simple, healthy and tasty - squash is dressed with olive oil, fresh parsley and garlic. If you don't want to peel it first, simply slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. You can serve this hot from the oven or at room temperature. Substitute pumpkin or sweet potato if butternut squash isn't available.
