Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes to yield approximately 4 cups.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cubed butternut squash and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the cooked squash and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Using a potato masher or fork, mash the squash until smooth and free of large chunks.
Add the butter, brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon to the mashed squash. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and the butter has melted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a pinch more salt, brown sugar, or cinnamon to suit your preferences.
Transfer the prepared squash to a serving dish and serve warm.
