Thanks so much for all the replies, it doesn't look as if its changed texture so looks like thats at least one more meal taken care of!!I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0

Make soup (from raw ie not roast first) (1 squash, 2 leeks, 2 carrots, 2litres stock, cumin and coriander - simmer for about 1 hour (we like ours really squishy, probably could get away with 35 mins if you chunk small), bung in a tablespoon of red lentils 30 mins before the end, then cool for 10 mins and blend) (we love this with seedy bready and a dash of chipotle tabasco sauce on top)
sounds yum. Just decided what to do with the bnut squash that's been sat for 3 weeks in the kitchenworking on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?0 -
I've grown up on all sorts of squash and from experience, they can keep for up to 4 months if they are kept in a cold and dark place.
I do so many different dishes with butternut squash - I do soup, mash, rissotto, roasted squash - and loads loads more!0 -
I bought a butternut squash in December (when they were on offer at aldi for 69p), totally forgot about it until came across it in the cupboard just now. Looks ok, but don't want to roast it, waste the electricity and it be off - how can i tell if its ok?
Many thanks Always Happy.I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0 -
I have made a butternut squash rissotto tonight with my last one that I grew in the summer.
I'm certain yours won't be off.0 -

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!!

If it goes off it will just be the skin that goes off first, or a bit of mould will grow on the nobbly bit... Even when it does this its still usually firm inside!
If you wanted to be sure though couldn't you cut in half and roast like that?0 -
you would be able to tell by the skin! if it looks ok on the outside its fine inside! honestly hun, I have used them after months of storage and they have been perfectly edible.0

You can also nibble a slither of it raw - if it tastes off, it's off, otherwise it should be fine.0
