Very nice, very straightforward. I separated the squash into two small casseroles and froze one before baking it, I'm going to use it as a side-dish when I have people around next week :D Thanks for a great recipe, Parsley :)

Simple and savory as described by Parsley. DH and I both enjoyed this dish and will again. This is a tasty way to prepare butternut squash. The only thing I changed was to top with french fried onions instead of crackers.
