This rich dish is wonderful at a fall brunch. The tawny color of the squash, when it is baked in a casserole, adds a nice touch to a buffet table. This may be prepared ahead of time and rewarmed with good results by heating it for 20 to 30 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place the squash cut side up in a shallow baking pan large enough to hold both halves. Coat the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the squash for about 45 minutes, or until very soft. Allow the squash to cool slightly in the pan. Using a large spoon, scoop out the flesh and discard the skins. You should have about 2 cups of squash. Use a potato masher to mash the cooked squash to the consistency of mashed potatoes, with a few chunks left in for texture.
- Reduce the oven heat to 325°F.
- Combine the squash, the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the 2 teaspoons salt, the 1 teaspoon pepper, the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ginger, and Parmesan cheese in a large bowl.
- Spoon the mixture into a buttered 2 1/2-quart casserole. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is set and brown. Allow the pudding to cool for about 30 minutes before serving.
