I have to update my review to say that I have made this dish many times now and it has become the family favorite. I don't want butternut squash any other way! One time I had some left over and used it the next evening, reheating it and mixing it with a cup of plain, cooked couscous. My family just loved the flavor. Thank you again Roosie, for bringing a healthy and enjoyable dish to my dinner table. Original review: This is a really nice flavored dish. Other than cutting the amount of garlic in half (to better suit our tastes), I followed this recipe exactly. The sweet squash, salt and garlic compliment eachother so well. It's perfect.. I will be making this many more times. Thanks for sharing!

For flavor this is a 5 star plus but I had trouble getting the squash to cook within the set time of 2o minutes with no added moisture in the pan.. I used a butternut squash and pre baked it for 25 minutes to make it easier to peel. Did not use butter but a no oil spray. mashed the garlic after cooking it in the wine Mmmm added the squash again with the no oil spray but even on low heat it didn't look like it would cook in time so added 1/4 cup of wine covered and let it steam - The wine cooked off do I added apprx another 1/4 cup - The squash was perfect after 20 minutes -still had a bit of firm texture. I used a German Reisling wine. Definitedly a do again recipe - Great Flavor & Appearance Thanks Roosie for posting

Delicious! I used olive oil instead of butter, cheap chardonnay and 8 cloves of garlic for 3/4 lb. of butternut squash. Probably won't mash all the garlic cloves next time, as the taste was a little much for me (and I'm a huge garlic lover!) This is a wonderful recipe to get people to eat more yellow vegetables, which are so good for us. I got the squash ready-to-cook at Whole Foods - $3.99/lb, but definitely worth it for the time I saved. Publix usually has it too.

Very good! Mine took longer to cook, abt 40 min. I will cut the squash smaller next time. I only had 8 cloves of garlic and may add more than 10 next time, my squash was more than a pound. The only problem I had was there was allot of liquid after it was done cooking. I used regular table salt, next time I will use kosher to kick up the salt taste. Thanks for posting!
