I'm the someone else who loved this dish! (BF did too.) I only made one change, which was to use a lot more pine nuts - about 1 1/2 Tbsp per serving. It is true that the taste of squash isn't prominent here, but I liked the combination of flavours - no one thing stuck out. Nice colours too. Thanks for posting!

This dish sounded fabulous, but unfortunately I wasn't as happy with it as I was hoping. I followed the steps exactly and used kabocha squash (my favorite). The flavor of the squash seemed overwhelmed by the other ingredients, which was a disappointment. I also don't think I liked the tomatoes with the squash, but thats just a matter of taste for me. It was not a hard dish to make and was cooked to perfection. I really wanted to love this but for me it was an average dish. It was most certainly not horrible but did not knock my socks off either. I'm sure someone else will love it. Sorry Mean!

If you are looking to ask me a question? I'm not here. I won't answer.
I do not assure you that the ingredients, amounts or even the directions in any recipe under my two accounts are correct due to the bad directional pointer in the database that is causing problems with the amounts or ingredients. I will also NOT assure you they are correct when the site claims they are fixed. Use at your own risk. They will be correct on my site. End of story.
