Great veggie dish! Really loved all that roasted garlic. This was easy to make and made a lot - 4 big main dish portions and I'm sure it would serve 8 as a side. Thanks for sharing a great recipe!

Very good. I only used one summer squash but added some macaroni and probably a bit more cheese. Very good and easy. Thanks for sharing!
