Pasta with Chicken and Squash image

This is a special dish that we enjoy often. A bed of noodles is covered with a creamy cheese sauce, tender squash and strips of chicken that've been stir-fired with flavorful herbs. It's delicious and pretty too! -Pam Hall, Elizabeth City, North Carolina

I thought this dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a bit bland. I think it could have used more flavor.
