Yumm... No stars as I really changed the recipe too much, but a big thanks to you for the inspiration. I never would have thought to make a pasta sauce out of squash had I not come accross this recipe. And I'm sure glad that I did, because what I ended up with was fantastic. I made a low-fat vegan version of your recipe by baking 1/2 butternut squash, then pureed it with some soy 'cream', added salt, pepper, and a dash of both cayenne pepper and cinnamon. Oh, my. Served over vegan ravioli. Thank you so much for the idea. If my version is any indication, then your recipe is really tasty!
