    We found the marsala undetectable in the sauce so will up the quantity next time. We also found the St Auger blue cheese called for in the recipe (2010 UK hardback version) a bit overpowering. Nigella says you can use any cheese you like, so next time I'll use Emmenthal, which I think will compliment the other flavours in the dish.

    Couldn't get butternut squash so used a different type. Now considering I'm not actually much of a squash fan, this was definitely one of the nicer squash dishes I've tried. The smoky paprika, blue cheese and pine nuts really complemented the sweet squash well, and it looked very pretty and autumnal on the plate (shame I made this at the start of Spring but hey ho).

    Easy way to cook butternut squash. Could increase the onion, smoked paprika, and sage, if desired. I made with regular pasta (rigatoni), not pappardelle, and it worked fine. My butternut squash got mushy, so I will watch it more closely next time. Edited: made this again with shell pasta and red onion, almost five years later, and enjoyed it even more than I remembered. Maybe it’s the delicious cambozola cheese I used. Used hazelnuts as I didn’t have pine nuts.
