Place in a saucepan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover.
Simmer for 20 - 30 minutes or until the cubes are tender and a knife pierces through the flesh easily.
Remove from the heat and drain.
Leave in the colander / sieve for 2 - 3 minutes or so to let as much water as possible to drain.
Return to the saucepan over a very low heat to steam off any further water.
Season with salt and pepper and 5 - 10 sprays of the calorie controlled cooking oil.
Mash with a potato masher or fork.
The mashing of the butternut squash may create a little more water at the bottom of the pan. If this happens keep the pan on the heat till it steams off or alternatively mix it into the mash.
Remove from the heat.
Serve hot with a sprinkling of nutmeg if required.
