For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the sauce during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce before serving.
Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, for a more complex flavor.
This dish can be made ahead of time. Simply store the cooked squash and sauce separately in the refrigerator, and combine them when ready to serve.
