I love squash and spinach, and these are things I always have on hand! Easy and tastes great!! -
Deelicious. The family really enjoyed it. I used frozen spinach and it was nice and quick to make. I added a little cayenne for some spice. Thanks! -
Made this for Thanksgiving. Used shallots instead of yellow onion. This went over very well. With so much food at TG, quarted each half to get eight servings out of one squash. Will definately make again, super simple. -
Really good! I added a little parm as others suggested and it was perfect. Much faster and easier ot throw together than I expected too! Thanks for sharing.

Really yummy! We didn't have nutmeg but we added parmesan like the previous reviewer suggested. This was GONE by my husband and two toddlers in no time.
