This turned out very nicely. I had less than a 3 lb squash, but it all came out to exactly 3 cups. I used freshly ground cornmeal for the polenta and only had to cook it for 5 minutes at the most. Once you put in the Parm. cheese, it tasted great! The cheese gave a it a little more flavor, but I think you could cut it down a bit, if you wanted lower fat. Everyone but the squash hater loved it.
