Instructions
Cut each squash down the center lengthwise, you don’t want to cut them in half width-wise, leaving a top and a bottom otherwise they are odd to cook that way.

Position the squash with the cut side facing down on a shallow baking sheet and add sufficient water to cover the sides of the squash. I prefer using a generous amount of water as it aids in softening the flesh of the squash as it evaporates.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes, until they are soft.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on top of the stove. Use a spatula to turn the squash halves over so they are resting cut side up.
Turn on the broiler in your oven.
Place a quarter stick of butter (2 tablespoons) in the center of each half of squash. If you are going for sweet, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of brown sugar.
Return to the oven and broil for about 5 minutes, melting the butter/sugar, browning the edges slightly and
