I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I added 3 diced cloves of garlic in my pan with the squash and onion, drizzled olive oil over the top, and added plenty of dried thyme and rosemary. I also used whole wheat noodles, Italian Herbs and Cheese flavored cooking creme instead of plain, bread crumbs rather than crushed croutons, and added fresh spinach. It was very flavorful and the squash was the perfect texture! Will definitely make this again!

It became a very tasty main course when I added some seasoned pulled pork. I also froze half for a future meal... heated up nicely!

My husband asked me to try this recipe....I was very reluctant. So to please my man I made it and surprisingly it was AWESOME! It is a recipe that I have added to my personal recipe of my favorites!

Squash came out perfectly cooked. Very tasty. A little too spicy for my 13-month old twins but I will definitely make it again
