Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ How much better can you get than with this unusual way of serving a side dish of squash ~ It's great-tasting & when guests see it, well...! I did make one small addition to it, in that just before serving it I sprinkled about 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over it! Thanks much for this recipe!
