My vegetarian children made this dish to bring to our family's Easter dinner and everyone (vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike loved it! We are making it again for dinner tonight.

This was my second time making this dish and it was just as amazing as the first.I always try to make my recipes a little bit healthier if I can, so I used whole wheat rotini pasta, and half the amount of called for goat cheese.I also roasted the butternut squash with the seeds for extra protein and a toasted crunch.Also, I sauteed some fresh mushrooms in olive oil and salt and pepper while my squash and onions were baking and added them as well.It's a great added addition.The fresh basil at the end brightens all the flavors up, so don't skip it.Very delicious and a new regular recipe at my house!!Love it!!

This dish was amazing! An immediate hit at my dinner party. Everyone loved it...love all the ingredients. What a unique taste. Love the goat cheese, basil and walnuts together. I wouldn't have thought to use walnuts, but I loved them in this dish! Thank you again Giada! Another keeper!

My husband and I absolutely loved this dish! Easy and delicious!! I actually forgot the fresh basil and had to use dried and it was still amazing. This will definitely become a staple dinner for us. I've tried so many great recipes from Giada - thank you!!

I followed this recipe exactly and loved it!! I agree with other reviews that you could use less goat cheese when serving hot, but I would use the full amount if you are going to being eating it at room temp for a picnic or something(it really dries up on the pasta. I personally liked it better cool.

This was a great dish. It looks like it would be heavy but it didn't feel that way when I ate it. I did change a few things. I don't care for goat cheese so I replaced it with Boursin garlic and herb spreadable cheese. I also don't care for walnuts and I used pecans. I loved them both. You could also use a Alouette spreadable cheese if you can't find the Boursin cheese. It is a dish that I will make often.

I really like this recipe! It's very good and very easy. I agree with others in that goat cheese is an aquired taste. I'm not the biggest fan of it so I use a little less. Also, I made this once with butternut squash and then another time with seasonal squash. Both are great! I really like the texture and crunch of the walnuts too. Great recipe!
