Do you cover the casserole dish with the lid when baking?

Made some tweaks to this solid recipe and turned out fantastic. I ommited the cheese and yogurt and added 2 minced garlic cloves as well of a pinch of cinnamon and crushed red pepper flakes. I will make again for sure. Will keep my tweaks and will also roast the squash in the oven first instead of the microwave.
