The flavors in this are all over the place. My daughter hated it, my son loved it, and I'm on the fence right now on it. If I make this again I will 1. cook the squash longer. I had major issues getting it out of the skin trying to preserve the skin for serving it. 2. pick a flavor. Sweet and savory with this isn't working to well. 3. I may leave out the wine. It seemed to really over power everything else. 4. Use some actual spices in this. If you want it savory do cumin and Italian spices. If you want it more on the sweet side I would use cinnamon and/or nutmeg. I added Italian sausage as directed on the web site for a more substantial meal and well this just fell short. I've done rissoto before and it turned out great. I was excited to try this one because it had squash. I was disappointed. I think next time I will try it as a side and skip the arugula and pomegranate seeds all together.
