The more carrot you put it, the sweeter it is. The more herbs you put in the more savory it is.
The way I wrote up the recipe was for my older aunt and so I made it as balanced as I could (neither too sweet or too savory and no hot spices).
Also, when I make it for us, I never measure the vegetables, but just put what looks good to me for the amount of squash I have. For purposes of writing up the recipe for my aunt, I paid attention to what I was putting in and wrote down measurements.
My point is that you can add what you like and use some herbs if you want. We like a pinch of fresh chopped thyme and flat leaf parsley. One son likes cayenne pepper.
