Easy to make. Taste is wonderful. Besides sprinkling the pine nuts on top, use some of the crystallized ginger also.

I used the butternut squash and this was great. I served it to guests and it was a big hit. I think of this as a kugel and not a pudding. I will add this to my kugel list. I also added an egg to this recipe and used Rich's whip instead of evaporated milk since my daughter is allergic to milk. It was great. I hope to try it with pumpkin too since I love pumpkin pie.

I made two (one for us) of this (easy to prepare) recipe last night and for a friend's dinner party. I had to stop myself from digging into it on the way, lol... It's wonderful as far as my family is concerned (even with a picky 12yr old boy) and was a hit at the party... The pan was scraped clean!... Thanks for the great new recipe!...
