All his other wives came back, to share the Co-Op ham tea

I've just put a butternut squash into the oven to roast, so I can make... well, actually, I haven't decided yet what I'm going to make out of it. However, as I peeled its sticky label off I noticed that it was "the co-operative butternut squash".

Has anyone ever bought an uncooperative butternut squash ? Was it tricky getting it into the oven ?

In the end, I hit the roasted squash with a spoon until it became approximately sauce consistency, mixed in sundried tomatoes, diced cured French sausage, and roast red and yellow peppers and served it with noodles.

On reflection, the sausage was a mistake. Too strongly flavoured and too much of it, it just didn't fit in. The rest was promising, though, and bears further investigation.

The sauce would have been better thinned with wine or stock instead of milk, but I didn't have either of the former to hand and have a ridiculious excess of the latter.
