Winter Squash Gratin

"I adapted this recipe from a magazine clipping. A wonderful gratin using kabocha squash. If kabocha is unavailabe to you, you may substiture butternut or pumpkin. And you can substitute different cheese for the fontinella, asiago or gruyere would be good. Delicious and a simple dish, great for family or company. Easily doubles."
