Yumm. The flavours were actually a lot more delicate than I thought it'd be, but I really enjoyed it like that because it really enhanced the flavours of the butternut squash. I cooked the squash in the microwave first to soften it up (covering it with microwaveable plastic wrap); that way it was easier to peel and slice and the whole cooking process at the end was quicker. Everyone enjoyed it. Thank you!
