Continue kneading about 10-15 minutes until the dough has a nice soft elastic consistency. Form the dough into a ball and place in a bowl that has been lightly coated with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm spot to rise for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or till about double in size. Meanwhile toss the Butternut squash cubes and the peeled garlic cloves in 1-2 tbs of olive oil and roast on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until the pieces are tender.Thaw and drain the spinach, removing as much excess water as possible.
