Rustic Squash Tarts
This recipe is hiding a big surprise. Flaky, rustic-looking pastry shells hold a sweet and spicy pecan layer under the squash slices. —Ann Marie Moch, Kintyre, ND

It was good but I think the thyme overpowered the cinnamon, nutmeg, pecan mixture. I agree the squash needs to be almost completely cooked, not just crisp tender but all in all we enjoyed it and I will make it again with less thyme.
Didn't give this 5 stars because I thought the squash should be more softer than it was..... but it was a very good and different side dish, had lots of positive comments about it! Next time I will just cook the squash longer in the microwave :)
I really enjoyed this recipe. It is simple but looks really impressive and the flavors are a delicious combination that really reflects autumn. Goes great with any kind of meat and a salad. Everyone who has tried it has loved it!
This is very impressive and unusual and makes a lot (2 tarts can easily be a nice side for 11 or so people at Christmas, etc.). My family still refers to this tart even though I made it a couple of years ago--I guess I'd better put it on the menu again!
