The chewiness of the fresh pasta should go well with the smooth squash puree, make sure its thicker than before. Accented with the firmness of the toasted walnuts and fried bacon should be a nice contrast. The chopped chicken thighs in there should give it that meaty texture that no combination of nuts/vegetables could ever create, and the broccoli should be a way to reset the mouth for another bite.
Sweetness from the onions, squash, and brown sugar. Saltiness from the Bacon, Chicken Broth, and parmesan cheese. Herbal from the fresh thyme and sage, and earthy from the walnuts. The cream and gelatin should keep the flavors lingering. Simple Broccoli to finish.
Make sense? If I can think about what it should be like, then I can focus the meal on those aspects. We'll see how it goes. This is going to be for a dinner date after all...

Reading this blog will be like one big tease. ;)
After reading that, I am now demanding a First Wives dinner. And no tater tots and Arnold Palmers this time. I want real food!
