  I bought a butternut squash and didn't know what to do with it until I found this recipe. It was lovely and easy to make, and tasted really autumnal!

  Lovely recipe but was missing something - the mince looked a little anaemic! I'm going to do this again this evening but perhaps adding some red wine to make it a little richer.
