I'm allergic to cheese. Can I use a different sauce?

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover squash. I also added some chopped bacon and it was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and my gratin turned out watery. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
