Fantastic! I added bacon which made it even better! Great creamy flavor! I had one large squash so I doubled the sauce and it was perfect! I also sprinkled seasoned bread crumbs on top for crunch factor!

AMAZING DISH! Just made it for dinner tonight and invited all my friends to come try it. 10/10 would recommend to anybody. The only modification I made was using 2 cloves of garlic in my sauce instead of 1. Besides that I pretty much stuck to the recipe. Such an awesome meal!!

Excellent Alfredo sauce, but I only made a half recipe and with the normal sauce ingredients and had barely enough sauce to cover the chicken. would also recommend broiling your cheese on the second bake.

This turned out great! However, used jarred alfredo sauce and added broccoli, will try in future to make fresh alfredo as have always preferred fresh over jarred only because you can adjust taste to your liking. Will some other veggie add in's as well.

This was excellent! I made this with about 3 chicken thighs , but I think if I make it again I would double the chicken and sauce to have leftovers, and I’d also use twice as much garlic as the recipe calls for (2 cloves for the original recipe quantity). Since my family isn’t big on spaghetti squash, I put half the filling in a ceramic baking dish to be served over noodles. I also used double the amount of shredded cheese on top since my family really likes cheese. It made a nice crunchy baked on top.
