Do not use all the squash. I diced one and roasted the other in the oven. I cut the diced up squash into two equal parts and stored it in the freezer. The squash I roasted I also only used one half and stored the other (after I scooped out the contents and stored it as well. I was able to make this another night because half the work was done! Delicious recipe!!

I used all the squash and then wished I hadn’t. I had to more than double the parmesan and mascarpone in order to have any kind of flavor. Needed more salt too. If I make it again I’ll definitely use less squash.

You don’t need as much butternut squash as asked for, but other than that this recipe was AMAZING!
