Ricotta Butternut Squash
- 1 large butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons margarine (I used "I Can't Believe it's not Butter)
- 3 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
- Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out all seeds and membrane.
- Place both pieces of cut squash face down on shallow baking dish.
- Add Water to baking dish to about 1/2" depth.
- Place in oven for about 1-1/2 hours or until squash is very soft.
- Remove from oven, and carefully scoop out cooked squash into mixing bowl.
- Add 1 cup fat free ricotta, 3 tablespoons splenda brown sugar, 2 tablespoon margarine, 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Beat with electric mixer until it reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes.
- (Add a little skim milk if too thick).
- Serve.
- Serving idea: For a sweet dessert like treat, spoon into small ramikens and top with a dollop of fat free/sugar free cool whip.
- Enjoy!
