"This recipe is from Gourmet magazine, February, 1994.
It is quick, easy, and delicious!"

1 small butternut squash, peeled,
seeded, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

3 slices bacon

2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon Tabasco, or to taste

1. Steam squash on a steamer rack set over boiling water, covered, until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes

2. In a skillet, cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp, reserving 2 teaspoons bacon fat.

3. Crumble bacon into a bowl and toss with squash, juice, Tabasco, reserved bacon fat, and salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 2

Note: I've made it without the Tabasco sauce and simply loved it.
