Prep cubed butternut squash by boiling or steaming until tender. Place cooked squash into a blender or food processor, then blend until you have a smooth puree. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat add garlic, onion and pepper. Saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add cayenne and black pepper. Saute for 2 minutes longer.
Add saute mixture to the pureed butternut squash.
Add yogurt, cheese and remaining spices. Mix until well combined.
Pour into a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 or 9.5 x 9.5 square baking dish.
Top with a sprinkle of cheese, chopped cilantro and an optional bay leaf.
Bake for 30 minutes, then optionally turn on the broiler for a few minutes until the top is bubbling.
Let cool slightly to set a little before serving.
Enjoy!
