It's a keeper!- would make it again.  "Fabulous recipe!  I think you need a power saw to peel the squash, but otherwise it was great.  I added a lot more garlic, and topped it with plain yogurt.  Definitely a keeper.  I brought some to work today and heard compliments about how wonderful it smelled!"
