This was an easy recipe to make. I didn't have very much drippings from the sausage, so I left those in the pan and obmitted the two tablespoons of olive oil for the squash. I probably cooked the squash a couple minutes longer since it was still hard. It didn't have much of a sauce, so I sprinkled a little grated parmesan at the end. Not bad for a squash recipe--the squash didn't get too mushy which was nice. The sausage added a surprisingly good flavor.

I made this dish a couple of months ago, when butternut squash was in season. I thought it was a good combination of flavors. I did replace the sausage w/ vegetarian sausage since I was making it for a vegetarian. Still good taste! I did have to cook the dish a bit longer than stated on the recipe, since the squash wasn't done enough. All in all, this will be one of my autumn dishes to make!
