I enjoyed this dish, but I would add more butter/margarine next time to make it more moist and rich.

So happy to find a savory side using acorn squash. This was so easy to prepare with easy and accurate directions. I loved the was filling flavors worked together with the squash and seemed to make it taste that much sweeter but in a natural, supple sort of way. Added a teaspoon of dried sage, and though I thought this was a bit too much, it was the right spice for bringing the other flavors together. Thanks Dancer.
