I'm not a big fan of squash, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sweetness of the squash paired perfectly with the savory sauce.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more cheese to the top.
