  I made this as soon as the magazine dropped on my door mat!! So easy to make and was delicious. Even my daughter who kept saying that she wouldn't eat the squash, polished it off and asked for more!! Will be a winter favourite at our table...

  Absolutely vile. All you can taste is the cheese. 3/4 of this went in the bin.

  I didnt like this at all. Much to sweet and the sauce seemed quite bland. Mot went into the bin I'm afraid.

  Delicious !! Great autumn dish . The roast squash gave it a lovely flavour. My husband, ate this thinking the orange bits were cheese but enjoyed this even more than my usual mac n' cheese ! The kids loved it and as I'm always looking for ways to get extra veg into them this was a bonus. This will now be a regular autumn / winter dish in our house !!

  P.S I also added grilled bacon which may have lessened the too "sweet" flavour that some have commented on.

  I really enjoyed this dish - yes, it's quite sweet but in my opinion the flavours are reasonably well balanced. Might roast some onion alongside the butternut squash next time I make it. We had it with a dollop of chutney on the side and it was very warming and comforting for a rainy cold evening.

  This was a great macaroni cheese dish and a good way to use up the last butternut squash from the garden.

  not very healthy but really nice on a cold winters eve! I added some paprika for a kick too. Also froze really well, but make sure it is in smaller portions to defrost in the oven otherwise larger amounts will still stay cold - I just covered with foil and baked in oven for 20mins, or until it browns a little more.

  I have made this twice and think it is delicious! The butternut squash obviously adds the sweetness but I found that it was offset by the extra mature cheddar and parmesan.

  yum! It is on the sweet side but I think balanced by the cheese - Definitely a make again - my little boy loved it too. We had some smoked bacon lardons in the fridge so I chucked these in to - Think they added a nice extra savoury flavour.

  Very tasty! I also added a clove of garlic when melting the butter to give it an extra kick and sliced some tomatoe to put on the top when baking which made it less rich.

  Loved this! I forgot the squash but it was lovely and tasty without it. Also added a little teaspoon of wholegrain mustard to the cheese sauce. It was very well received by all!

  We loved this dish - children and adults. It's a great way to include some vegetables in a lovely cheesy pasta dish, easy to make, and with a mixed salad a perfect winter dish. Makes you want to go and ski!
