Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Purée

Coming up to Thanksgiving with a small number of sweet potatoes and one butternut squash in the house, this recipe was a great find. The squash adds an interesting texture to the smooth sweet potatoes, but the flavors are completely complimentary.

I'd disagree that this is a "lightly spiced" dish. It's very pleasant, but the spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger are pronounced. I enjoyed the zing it brought to the table (and it's certainly not hot or unbalanced), but it's not subtle.
