Now, let's get to the fun part - boiling! To start, fill a large pot with enough water to cover the squash, and add a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then carefully place the squash into the pot, making sure not to splash any water (we don't want any accidents in the kitchen!).
As you wait for the squash to cook, you can start thinking about all the amazing dishes you can create with it - from soups to salads, and even as a side dish on its own. The possibilities are endless, and that's what makes cooking so exciting, right? You get to be creative and experiment with new flavors and recipes!
So, how long does it take to boil a butternut squash? Well, that depends on the size, but as a general rule, it's about 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork. And don't worry if you're not sure - you can always check on it and adjust the cooking time as needed.
