This was very good. Instead of 3 tbls water I added 3 tbls of lemon juice. It was very good and almost as good as our grilled zucchini and squash. Much more convenient when you are in a hurry. thanks

I had some squash around and wanted a healthy small meal, so I found this and it was perfect! I omitted the onion and used lemon juice instead of water. I loved it, but then again, I am a huge squash fan, so I am biased haha...thank you for this recipe!!!

I altered the recipe a smidge, but this came out wonderful! I made this with a lemon rosemary chicken and they complimented eachother so well. My boyfriend proclaimed that he hated squash but he was willing to try it again, after this he said I really like squash I don't know why I hated it... AWESOME because squash is one of my faves and I never got to eat it.... I used smart balance margarine and took the suggestion of a reviewer and used lemon juice instead of water. i seasoned the squash with salt fresh ground pepper and fresh rosemary... this was excellent with our meal thank you so much!
