Butternut squash

In my quest to provide foods without sugar in them I decided to make butternut squash without the traditional cinnamon and sugar on it. So what is the opposite of sweet? Well, in my head it is spice, so here is a simple recipe for butternut squash with a kick.

1 pound of cubed butternut squash
Butter
~1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
~1/8 teaspoon red chilli powder

Cook the squash in a pan with the butter and spices on medium. Stir occasionally, and cover to trap some of the steam. Squash is done when it is soft but still together in cubes.

My family liked this a lot, except my one child who hates anything he even thinks might have spice to it.
