1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil

Where to find ingredients
You can find butternut squash, garlic, olive oil, and salt at any local grocery store, farmers' market, or supermarket.
Preparation method
- Peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into cubes of about 2 cm
- Finely mince the garlic cloves
- Place a large pot or skillet over medium heat with the olive oil
- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute just to scent the oil, being careful not to burn it
- Add the pumpkin cubes and salt to the pot
- Stir the ingredients occasionally for 10 minutes, until the pumpkin begins to soften
- Place the lid on the pot and reduce the heat to the lowest setting
- Let it cook for 5 minutes so that the pumpkin finishes softening in its own steam
- Remove the lid and continue stirring while mashing the pieces with the back of a wooden spoon, until you reach your preferred texture
- Turn off the heat and serve immediately
