A simple side dish that will easily become a standard - great crispy cheese topping and creamy butternut squash underneath; used rosemary and loved the flavor.

Hi All... The flavour of this recipe is five star but without modifications to the cooking time, it creates a mushy mess. The 90 min bake time resulted in extremely soft veggies that mashed when being scooped out. I would definitely bake again, since the combination of the breadcrumbs, parsely and seasoning makes for a decadent tasting side dish. I would reduce the cooking time to 60 minutes however. Enjoy.
