Serves two to three.

To learn more, read the article:
Butternut Squash—Turn Up the Heat for More Flavor
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbs. unsalted butter
3 cups 1/2-inch-diced, peeled butternut squash (from about a 2-lb. squash)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (about 1-1/2 ounces), toasted
1-1/2 tsp. freshly grated lemon zest

Heat the oil and butter in a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the squash, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is lightly browned and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the squash to a serving bowl. Add the parsley, walnuts, and lemon zest, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Star Star Star Star Star Huge hit on Thanksgiving. We were off to the cottage and I didn't want to fuss with prep so I chopped the parsley and put the lemon rind in it overnight in the fridge and found pre-cut butternut for just a little bit more than buying the squash. Making it again this weekend!
Star Star Star Star Star This is a lovely dish for weeknights or a casual supper with friends. I usually add a little more lemon juice becuase I like the freshness it adds but the recipe is also perfect as is. I make it again and again.
Star Star Star Star Star This is an excellent way to prepare squash, and this is coming from someone who has never liked squash. I didn't have any parsley on hand, so I subbed it out with some lime basil from the garden that hadn't yet frozen. I could literally eat this every week, it was that good. I will be making this dish for Thanksgiving. The only drawback is prepping the squash, as it isn't easy to peel and dice. It is still very much worth the effort, as it cooks up quickly. I plan on prepping the squash ahead of time and storing it in a ziplock prior to cooking.
