i used the kabocha squash because it looked better and was a better deal than the butternut. i actually thought it was too sweet, but i did leave the squash and onions in the oven a little too long. otherwise, i use goat cheese all the time as my cheese of choice for pasta with cheese and is amazing! has such a zing and it so creamy! my boyfriend loved it!

I am with those that thought it was bland. I used a herbed goat cheese, and roasted garlic with the squash, but together the dish was less than spectacular. I love goat cheese so I was highly disappointed. However, the squash mixture was so incredibly good I will probably be making my squash like that from now on. If I make the pasta again, I will likely add a cream cheese or some other mix to the noodles, plus sauteed garlic and perhaps crushed red pepper.

I loved this dish! I was a little worried about making sauce with goat cheese, but it worked beautifuly! Walnuts didn't do much though I love them...

This dish was amazing. I didn't use any nuts because I forgot to buy them but it was still amazing. My kids even liked it!

I love this recipe. I used toasted almonds because I didn't have walnuts. I think almost any toasted nut would be tasty in this recipe. I have never used goat cheese this way before- it is really wonderful and creamy.

All the flavors and textures of the ingredients melded together so well in this delicious recipe. The butternut squash and the onions were so beautifully caramelized after having been roasted, the goat cheese was creamy and tangy, and the walnuts took it over the top with the crunch. I was taking this dish with me on a picnic with a friend who is allergic to gluten, so for part of the batch I swapped out the pasta for Lundberg Farms brown rice/wild rice blend which I had cooked in chicken broth. What a happy accident! The brown and wild rice added another layer of nuttiness and texture. Both my husband and I agreed that the next time I make this recipe I will make the whole batch with the rice. Thank you, Giada!

This was so tastey and so easy. I made this for a girls dinner party and I could tell they were disappointed that I didn't make more. They were super impressed and even asked for the recipe. Definitely will be making again, but next time I will buy the squash and bake it versus buying the frozen stuff. Thanks for a great recipe Giada!
