I do something similar, but i sautee the veggies and add chopped up turkey or lean ham for protein. YUM. I also add a splash of white cooking wine to the veggies right before I add teh couscous and a little parm cheese on top. Submitted by:

I used quinoa. I used only .25 cup. Used Rice vinegar (0 calories). Used a yellow onion, cut up, roasted with the squash, grated parmesan instead of shredded, frozen spinach. used what was on hand. Then I added a baked chicken breast into the mix. DH and I loved it.
P.S. We ate some of peels. 		Submitted by:

I used quinoa instead of couscous and cooked the quinoa in low fat/low sodium chicken broth. It was DELICIOUS! Submitted by:

I'm vegan, so I'm wondering if I could skip the cheese and put some nutritional yeast on instead. Submitted by:

I love squash but without the butter it just is too dry. And without sugar too sour. Submitted by:

Call it a 3.5 rating. The squash peeling took a long time (although when you're done with prep., cooking is fast and easy), and I thought it was on the bland side (although I like things a bit spicy). The nutritional value is great, and it's a healthy, filling side dish. Submitted by:

I made this tonight with the red onions because that is what I had on hand. Served it as a double portion with a side of cottage cheese for a great vegetarian dinner. 599 calories, 39 grams of protien. Great, healthy meal with nice color on the plate. Submitted by:
