This recipe is delicious and is definitely a "grown up" pasta dish. The only change I made to the recipe was I replaced the brussels sprouts with broccoli. The italian dressing gives it a good unique flavor.

I like the flavor of the dish on the whole, but would substitute the butternut sqash with something else next time

The chicken stock made the dish very blan. The vetegables before I added the stock were very good. Next time I will make it without the chicken stock.

Absolutely delicious!! This reminds me of something from an expensive restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at how hearty this meal is. This meal would be fantastic for a get together for around 4-6 people. Not only the taste but the appearance is very impressive.
