Beautiful tasting, company-ready winter squash casserole dish that was served to me by my daughter at her Bunco party. She said it came from a handout at Raley's Deli Dept. All the women there raved about the recipe and it even upstaged the pumpkin raviolis she made. It would be quite impressive on a Thanksgiving or Christmas table or to take to a potluck. Enjoy!
