  We had this for dinner last night and although we all enjoyed it, we wouldn't have it again, without some alterations. For instance, just the two main flavours, the sausage and the squash, weren't enough. For all that I'd coated the squash in Cajun spice, because it was the main part of the meal, it quickly became tedious. So, in future, I'd use half a butternut squash and add some mushrooms and a courgette. I'd still add the Cajun spice (and a clove of garlic) to the squash. So, it showed promise but was more of a "work in progress", for us.

  Following some comments, I used this as the main part of the meal, but added a tomato based sauce (tin of tomatoes, garlic, chilli powder, corriander, cumin, lemon juice, tobasco sauce, vegetable stock, sugar, seasoning) to give it a bit more depth. Thought this really added to the meal as I feared it could be a little bland without the sauce. Will definitely cook this again.

  I made this recipie for my dad, he liked it and ate it all even though it was a big portion. I added extra chilli flakes and gound corriander for more flavour.

  Loved it, followed the recipe except cooked it a bit longer (wife was late home) and added sweet chili dipping sauce at end.

  Added chopped chili, garlic & a tsp sugar to bring out the sweetness of the squash, superb.

  It was very tasty, although I forgot the onion so added a clove of garlic and a red pepper. The only thing I found was that it was quite fatty so would definitely drain the sausage fat off before adding the pasta, but otherwise lovely quick meal.

  This is so easy to do (especially if you cheat and buy ready prepared squash) and my kids, husband and I all love it. It's a lovely cosy meal. I cooked the three main ingredients in stages and gave the squash a lot longer than the time suggested in the recipe. I also added a good handful of Parmesan at the end - delicious.

  I couldn't see the logic in removing the sausage skins as the whole recipe quickly became a sloppy mess, with the sausage disintegrating to the consistency of mince. In the end it actually tasted alright but it just didn't look very apetising. Won't be making again.

  Think it depends on the sausages you buy Beth...mine held together in little balls just fine...! I added half a tsp of dried chilli flakes & a red onion to mine...roasting the butternut squash beforehand really improves the flavour, but obviously increases the cooking time...!

  I used a strong flavoured sausage and it over took the other flavours. Simple and quick.
