Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

I LOVE MAC AND CHEESE!  I think this week everyone should post their favorite mac and cheese recipe.  This is so quick and delicious! I'm going to go make it right now.





Ingredients

  • 2 cups Small Pasta (Shells, Elbow Or Piccolini)
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Flour
  • ¾ cups Milk
  • ½ cups Butternut Squash Puree
  • 1-½ cup Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons Cream Cheese
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoons Paprika

Preparation Instructions

Peel and dice the squash and roast in the oven for 50 minutes at 400° cool place in a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth. 

Bring a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Once boiling, add pasta and cook until pasta is tender (about 7 to 10 minutes). Strain and set aside.

Melt butter over medium low heat in a saucepan and add the flour. Whisk and cook for 2 minutes. It will resemble a paste.
Slowly add milk. Whisk until combined. Next add everything thing else. Stir until combined.
Add sauce to the pasta and stir!
