    Added a small bunch of thyme (stems removed) to the squash, and bought the polenta already made up. Also, i didn't like the thought of having the polenta cold so broke it into chunks, mixed in the parmesan and placed it next to the squash for baking. It worked our really nice!

    Just made this tonight ... I twisted it a little and baked the polenta for 15 minutes at 220c (fan) and then covered the polenta with loads of Blue Stilton and popped it back in the oven (switched off) for 5 minutes ... had this with a simple Roast of Pork ... delicious

    Delicious combination of flavours and textures. I also roasted the squash in rosemary and my sister and I decided to go indulgent and finished it off with a drizzle of truffle oil.
