I had a version of this at a restaurant recently and decided to try recreating it at home.
I'm posting the recipe as I made it (and enjoyed it), but might suggest if someone is feeling adventuresome that they might add a dash of nutmeg and/or cayenne to the squash while it is cooking.

How to Make Butternut Squash and Goat Cheese Quesadilla
- While onions are cooking, place whole butternut squash in microwave for 2-3 minutes to make it easier to handle. Cut off top and bottom of the squash. If you have a sharp vegetable peeler, you can use it to remove the peel; otherwise use a knife. Cut the neck of the squash off from the rounded bottom. Then cut the rounded bottom in half and remove the seeds.
