This was delicious and the entire family loved it! There were, however, a few substitutions made out of necessity:

I used a converted amount of dried sage. Used Jenny-O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage. And because the grocery store was OUT of pumpkin, I used one regular sized can of sweet potatoes. I bought the kind that come chunked in a can and pureed them in the blender with about 1/2 can-1 can worth of water. Didn't worry that it was technically more than what the recipe called for (remember, your homemade puree is diluted. Worked great. Also, I did not add any cheese, as we are a cheese free family, but no one noticed (the flavor was so good I actually forgot to even consider it.

I would agree with other posters about increasing the amount of sauce. I will make about 1.5 the amount next time.

love this recipe - it is my go to guest dinner. Bump up the volume on the sauce for leftovers...the pasta soaks up a lot. I improvise with a big can of pumpkin and a bit more turns around the pan on the cream. So good!

Very tasty. Something outside the usual tomato-based pasta sauce. I used apple sausage I purchased in Holmes County, Ohio-an Amish meat market & it was very good. The salad is excellent-take the time to make it.

I am a fan of Rachel Ray, but I thought this was inedible. I substituted evaporated milk for the half and half (as many other reviewers said they did, and I used chicken sausage. Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as is and it was inedible. Yuck. What a waste of time.

I have very much enjoyed this recipe although I do not know anything about the salad that the previous person (azmomsy is talking about... and I am a salad lover... could you please post the name of the salad so I can look it up? Returning to the topic, I did not have the sausage but I finely chopped up some that I had in the fridge. I did not have white wine handy but in spite of all that, I think this is an excellent comfort food dish. Loved it.

This recipe combo is perfect together. Definitely take the time to make the salad when you make the pasta...so worth it! This is divine comfort food on a cold winters night. I couldn't wait to eat the leftovers the next day...not that there were many. Everyone went back for seconds.

Loved every bite! I used chicken sausage and fat-free half and half and it didn't compromise the recipe at all. I have had this recipe both ways and enjoyed the lower cal one just as much as the full on fat!

My family can be a bit picky when it comes to any squash recipe, but they LOVED this one. Easy to make also.
