The recipe came out great but I made a few modifications. Instead of delicata squash, I used zucchini because it was on sale at the store. Olive oil was substituted for butter. I also added some finely chopped mushrooms to the Quinoa mixture. The recipe was truly delicious and easy to follow. I will definitely make it again.

I loved this so much!! I had a bunch of delicata squash to use from a local farm, and this recipe did not disappoint. The only substitutions I made were to use Earth Balance instead of butter; I sprinkled Italian seasoning on the squash before roasting; I subbed raw sunflower seeds for pine nuts as I didn't have any; and I added a generous handful of sun-dried tomatoes to the mix. It was to die for-- thanks a milllion!

I used veggie broth instead of water, and added sauteed zucchini to the shallots and garlic. I also used peanut pieces instead of pine nuts on a second try because I ran out of pine nuts. It was great! I also added goat cheese to the quinoa mixture. Great flavor enhancer! Overall, a wonderful recipe.

Excellent, excellent, excellent recipe. My whole family loved it. I did alter it to our tastes a bit. I used one of the previous reviewers rice cooker method. I didn't peel the squash, just seeded & diced. I also added a tube of Jimmy Dean sage sausage and snow peas. Didn't have plain nuts of any kind in the house, so just left those out. Best quinoa dish to date & the first time I've ever had delicata squash. Thanks for the great recipe.

I cooked my quinoa in 2 cups vegetable broth and a tsp. of salt. It was good, but definitely needed a little acid -- like a squeeze of lemon in the quinoa broth, maybe.

I had to substitute butternut squash, zucchini would have been better choice b/c I couldn't really stuff the butternut. Quinoa was delicious. An EZ tasty dish.

I've made this dish several times and it always turns out delicious. My husband asks for it. That's always the sign of a good recipe, especially a vegetarian recipe like this. I've also made it with walnuts when I didn't have pine nuts on hand -- also very delicious.
