Great taste and easy to make, liked the combination of the butternut texture combined with the soft pasta and chicken. I used dried sage instead, which gave the menu quite a sweet and fragrant flavour.... Will defiantly be making this again

Very tasty. I made my own herb and garlic cheese to reduce the calories and increased the broth to give it a little more sauce. Next time I'll add a little more cheese and cut my butternut into smaller pieces.

The only thing I did differently, was to make my own pasta. Very nice dish. Made for New Kids on the Block Tag. :)
