1. 1In a sauce pan combine squash and water and boil for 5 minutes or until semi soft.
2. 2Let it cool to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9 inch square cake pan/baking dish with a liner or grease it.
3. 3Grind the pistachio roughly and put aside in a mixing bowl. Mash the squash with some of the leftover water until you have a smooth puree.
4. 4In a bowl combine the beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and honey.
5. 5Mix well.
6. 6Add the squash puree to the egg mixture and mix until well blended.
