Butternut Squash and Duxelles Casserole

"From the February 2010 "Fab Five" list of Vegetarian Times. (Duxelles is a paste of finely chopped mushrooms and shallots.) This is a wonderful comfort food that is actually fairly low calorie (depending on how much cheese you use)."

I'm a recipe junkie and collect way too many cookbooks. But when it's time to actually make something, I quickly turn to the internet... I started avoiding meat more than 20 years ago for environmental reasons. (It takes so many resources and the pollution risks of confinement operations are huge.) I've been vegan for years now and can report that the health benefits are also real. I really don't understand why people insist on eating meat
