have never eaten butternut squash. Is it similar in texture to

you're missing out. Their not a lot like courgettes. They get a soft consistency and they are acually buttery with a slight sweetness maybe a bit like sweet potatos.

Butternut squash is both textural and flavor-wise similar to sweet potato, but slightly less fiberous.
It's delicious and goes great in pasta, risotto, ravioli, casseroles, in mac and cheese, as stuffing for other vegetables or meats or breads. I've even used butternut squash to make pasta sauce and pizza dough.

theyre a lot less watery than courgettes
