    This was very tasty and a whole meal in one dish. I used a large can of choped tomatoes in place of the cherry tomatoes and added mushrooms when frying the onions. I will definately make this again. - 12/17/08

    This is pretty good. I really like it. Because of the mild flavor of the squash it really turned out good. I used ground turkey and didn't have the spinach. I used cumin and taco seasoning to flavor it. Made it a bit like a Mexican dish. - 4/11/09
