Today I brought back a massive Butternut Squash from my allotment. It weighed 3lb 12oz. As it has been such a difficult year for growing anything, I don't want to waste it. Anybody got any ideas for meals using this monster in different ways? Does it freeze well if I cut some of it it up for later in the year? I've never grown one this big before.

We have a good squash crop this year, including some blue ones. I like it roasted, either in chunks or cut in half and roasted with butter and thyme, wrapped in foil.Squash risotto is good too.
