    I can't even tell you HOW good this recipe is:

    Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

    Prep Time 10 Minutes
    Cook Time 15 Minutes

    Servings 4

    Difficulty- Easy

    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

    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!

    Note: If you can’t find butternut squash puree, simply cut a butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Place face down on a oven safe dish. Roast in the oven for 50 minutes at 400°. Allow to cool. Scoop the “meat” from the skin and place in a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth.
