* I serve this with whole wheat egg noodles, and I use fresh butternut squash instead. I don't use butter, but rather cut the squash in half, spray it with cooking spray and sprinkle it with cinnamon and bake it cut side down on a cookie sheet in a 350 oven. If I am in a hurry I microwave it for 10 minutes first.
