Preheat oven to 400°, Cut each squash lengthwise in half; remove and discard seeds. Using a sharp knife, cut a thin slice from bottom of each squash half to allow them to lie flat. Place in shallow roasting pan, cut side down. Add 1/2 in. of hot water to pan. Bake, uncovered, until squash is tender, about 35 minutes. Drain water from pan; turn squash cut side up. Spread with butter; season with salt and pepper.
