I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and thought it was ok. Too much of the mushy texture for me but I really liked the flavor. I made it again last week and cooked some breakfast sausage, scooped out the squash and mixed the sausage in it and it turned out awesome! Even my husband, who is NOT a squash person, loved it.

Delicious and easy. Added a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice which really added some flavor.
