Thanks for posting, Katie! Paula did this a few weeks ago on her show using zucchini, and that's what I used. I used 2 large zucchini and had a bit of filling left over, so perhaps 3 medium to large zucchinis could be used in place of the squash, as well. Reviewers on Food Network's site said the leftover filling was good with Triscuits, but I made do with a spoon. :)

This was awesome!! I made it last night for the first time and love love loved it. I used Butternut squash instead of yellow squash. (The yellow squash in our store were a bit small). It was bit rich...but what a great fall dish! I think I will try it next with Acorn Squash. Thank you for sharing such a tasty dish.
