Wonderful! My only complaint is that it needs a bit more protein to make it a bit more filling. Over all, it is EXCELLENT, and well worth trying. Even my 1, 3, and 5 year old children loved it

Wow. I have a husband who generally refuses pasta without a sauce, but he asked for seconds with this one. The rosemary imparted a magnificent flavor to the squash. We used a bit less pasta then called for and the recipe still turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing your culinary explorations!

Delicious. I left out the butter and the cheese due to an allergy in the family and it was still amazing. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

AWESOME! We all loved it. Even my 4 and 1 year old’s. I dumped out most of the bacon grease and only used 1 tbsp. butter and it was still very flavorful.

I made this tonight and was fabulous!! I really loved the rosemary with it and would highly agree with using fresh over dried. I also used fusilli pasta instead of penne and mostly frozen spinach (I didn’t have much fresh)….still yummy! The thing I loved most is that it had so much good stuff – all the different colored veggies and the flavor from the bacon and the rosemary. Excellent!

Fast, easy and delicious. Just the way I like ‘em. Also uses ingredients that I always have on hand – even better.

I LOVED this recipe! I made a few (minor) modifications to make it healthier — doubled the squash, used whole-wheat pasta , and used turkey bacon with a tiny addition of hickory-smoked salt. It was still delicious; so much that I’m serving it for our next family function! Thanks for sharing!

We loved this! I did the following substitutions – white wine instead of chicken broth, and dried whole sage and marjoram crumbled in instead of rosemary. Yum!

I made this last night for a friend, and it was DELISH, as my MIL would say… love it! Though I did make the mistake of cooking the squash too long… so for all those after me, I would suggest adding in the spinach when it looks like the squash is just starting to soften up, or a little sooner… otherwise, you’ll have mushy (though still yummy) butternut squash with your pasta. This recipe is a definite keeper though!
