Notes
***I used a small fresh pie pumpkin for this recipe, but you can also use a butternut squash. Wash and cut the pumpkin or butternut squash into quarters and remove the seeds. Place in a microwave safe bowl with a few tablespoons of water, then cover with plastic wrap. Poke several slits in the plastic wrap and cook in the microwave at 80% power till tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool to touch and scrape flesh from skin. Chop into bite size pieces and use in recipe.
