Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375º. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or foil. Season inside of squash with salt and pepper. Place squash, cut side down on prepared sheet. Roast until tender, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let cool slightly.
2. Line a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth; set over a small bowl. Pulse ginger in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to prepared strainer. Gather edges of cloth together; squeeze tightly to release ginger juice into bowl.
3. Scoop squash flesh into a food processor. Add sugar and 1 T ginger juice. With machine running, gradually add 1 1/2 cups cream and puree until smooth, adding more cream by tablespoonfuls if too thick. Season with salt, pepper and more ginger juice if desired. Gently warm in a saucepan, stirring constantly until heated through. Can be made 1 day ahead. Gently rewarm puree in a saucepan, adding a little more cream if necessary.
