Wow! This was so good! We loved the savory taste; some butternut squash recipes end up too sweet. I cooked the whole squash in the microwave for 6 minutes for easier peeling, and baked it at 350 for about an hour. Served with pork tenderloin and creamed spinach. Thanks for posting! -
This was very good! I used alot more garlic and added some dried sage. It came out very caramelized and sweet. Thanks for this one! Made for I Recommend Tag Game 2009. -
This is the way I like to make butternut squash! I used jarred minced garlic to make it even easier and top it at the end with some parmesan cheese and then broil for a few until it's browned.

We really enjoyed this. A wonderful alternative for those of us who try to avoid sugar. Great flavor. -
Very good! Simple and quick to put together. I used 4 good size cloves of minced garlic. Will try adding some fresh herbs as others have recommended. Thanks for posting!

Quistis145 is right, this IS the only way I'll cook squash! The recipe is simple and so good. I've made it with and without the garlic, both good. I've also made it with sage instead of pepper. Try it, you'll love it!

I always use Barilla Plus Pasta which is wheat pasta when ever I make a pasta dish and low fat or fat free everything. I also use Olive oil and garlic (LOVE garlic) in virtually everything i make!
