    A really yummy winter dish - and the minimum of washing up, too! I added the sage later and it still burnt a little - not sure how it would survive with 40 minutes roasting.

    This tasty dish is very suitable voor fussy eaters and difficult teenagers! Go sparingly with the sage.

    This was very nice but I always find squash takes lobger to roast than the 40 mins stated, maybe it is my oven. I would put squash in first (and roast for 50 - 60 min), then sausage to roast for 40 min, then sage 10 min before end of cooking time. Could not find chestnuts, probably not near enough to Christmas for the shops to have them in yet. Served this in a bowl with thick gravy, mash and yorkshire pud, really yummy and filling.

    Excellent recipe! I used a pack of vacuum packed cooked chestnuts. Put them at the start, no explosions!

    I didn't peel my squash as I prefer the variation in texture that the skin gives. It took about 50 mins to cook in all and following other suggestions, I put my sage in at about half-time. I liked the flavours, but found it a bit dry.
