2Cook the pasta and squash in the same pot until tender. Measure out the pasta water, and then drain the pasta. Set the pasta and squash aside.
3In the pasta pot, mix the pasta water, milk, goat cheese, onion-garlic mixture, toasted walnuts (set 2 tbsp. aside for topping), bacon, and ⅓ cup of shredded cheese. Add the squash and pasta and toss together until well mixed.
4Transfer pasta mixture to a 9 x 9-in (2 L) baking dish. Top with the reserved walnuts and remaining cheese. Season with pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
