Very easy to make, lots of flavour, we enjoyed this. I did play with it a little since I had veggies to use up, I added a small sliced zucchini and some sliced mushrooms, and then I tossed the whole lot with penne and served with parmesan. This made an excellent supper dish and I hope you will forgive me for experimenting a bit! Made for PAC Spring 2012

I got bunch of swiss chard in my organic food box and didn't know what to do with it. This recipe was awesome and a nice change of pace from the usual spinach side dish.

It's OK it covers up the delicate flavor of chard. I'd rather steam or boil chopped chard finish with malt vinegar butter salt pepper.

The squash did not cook in the time suggested and it was a real pain to scoop out the squash without demolishing the shell. I ended up scooping all the squash out, mixing with ingredients and cooking in a buttered baking dish. The flavor was good so I will make this again, but will peel and cube the squash before baking it at 400 for 45 minutes.

This recipe was really easy and delicious! I didn't have an onion, so I omitted it, and I am pregnant so instead of adding white wine, I just added water. It was still really good! I will make this again.
