This dish is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use frozen butternut squash, which makes it even easier. I also like to add some chopped broccoli or cauliflower to the sauce for extra vegetables.

I'm a vegetarian and I love this dish! I use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turns out great. I also add some chopped spinach to the sauce for extra nutrients.
