    When this recipe came out, there was also a recipe for a pasta dish with goat cheese and these sprinkled on top. If you have the magazine, try it, it's WONDERFUL!

    Yes, you can use the seeds from your butternut squash; we use them interchangeably for pumpkin seeds and also use butternut squash for making "pumpkin pie".
