In the show, Giada and her friend comment how rich, but yet "light" this dish is. I found it a good dish, but the sauce is on the heavy side. The sauce gets thicker and tackier as it stands in room temperature. She says that it can be served in room temp, but I think it's best when it's served right after it's tossed together while it's still moist. If you're not a huge fan of goat cheese, I'd say skip this recipe, because the tang of the goat cheese is very prevalent.

I followed the recipe - the only change was herbed goat cheese and it was so wonderful - my husband and I both agreed this was easy and so delicious - go Giada!

Delicious!! If you absolutely can't stand goat cheese, you could substitute with a mix of cream cheese and ricotta.

You can't really substitute the taste -- doesn't sound like you want to! You can substitute the texture to some degree with ricotta, dry curd cottage cheese, queso fresco or yogurt cheese. The brie probably won't melt in way that will coat the penne. I agree -- this sounds great and I'm going to try it!

Cathy, I always substitute goat cheese when I see blue cheese and sometimes feta. So... you could try either of those. The sharp tase will be a good complement to the sweetness of the squash.

Can anyone help, I just don't like goat cheese, but this recipe sounds outstanding. Do you think I can use a triple cream brie?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Great dish. Is very hearty and rich with wonderful flavor. The sauce could be a bit heavy for some people.
