    Great alternative pasta dish! We often make it without the prawns and there's still plenty of flavor. Whenever I bring leftovers to work everyone thinks its mac n cheese.

    Giada is one of my favorite chefs! I didn't expect anything less than AMAZING. This was delicious! It's light, and filling at the same time. I would double the shrimp though. You could also add lump crab for garnish.

    My mom and I made this...AWESOME! 4 stars because it needs more garlic. Then again, my mom and I are Italian and we can eat garlic by itself. But other than that, it was SO good! FYI: It's also good as a vegetarian dish with no shrimp, or replacing the shrimp with assorted vegetables.

    I make this without cheese and roast the shrimp. Could not find vegetable stock but used chicken stock today. And used linguine tonight. It comes out great! Have not made this a while but have to! One of my 4 year old twins who has DS eats this up!!!!!! The other one does not eat carbs for some reason so her vote does not count. But what a great what to get veggies into your child. You could make the squash puree ahead of time to help with all the stuff going on in the kitchen and I am not that organized or efficient. Thank you Giada for always sharing such great ideas.

    This recipe was good. Thought that it was a little heavy on the pepper flavor. The next time that I make it I think I'm going to try and and add some different flavors to it besides the pepper.

    Delicious! I didn't have any shrimp around so I did chicken seasoned with s&p, and dried rosemary and basil to taste. Also, added red pepper flakes and rosemary to the squash mixture.

    I could practically taste this when I saw Domenico make it on the Capri special. I felt this was going to be bland when I read the recipe. To avoid disappointment and extra work, I used a butternut squash pasta sauce from a gourmet "Kitchen". It has apples and brown sugar in it. I also seasoned the shrimp more with herbes de Provence and aniseseeds for a little pastis flavor. I also used penne. So glad that I didn't make the sauce from scratch. Too much work for a dish that is okay. I made it work for me.
