Creamy Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
A comforting twist on a classic mac and cheese, this dish uses rich butternut squash puree and a blend of reduced-fat cheddar with nonfat Greek yogurt to create a silky, creamy sauce.

Perfect for a balanced lunch or dinner, every bite offers warmth and gentle sweetness with a hint of traditional cheesy goodness.
INGREDIENTS
0.75 cup Whole Wheat Macaroni (85g)
0.5 cup Butternut Squash Puree (120g)
0.33 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese (37g)
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (125g)
0.5 cup Lowfat Milk (125g)
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black Pepper
0.25 tsp Paprika
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the lowfat milk over low heat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the butternut squash puree, reduced-fat cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, and warmed milk. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Combine the cooked macaroni with the creamy squash sauce, stirring well to fully coat the pasta.
Heat the mixture over low heat for 2-3 minutes, just until everything is heated through. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
Serve warm and enjoy a comforting bowl of creamy butternut squash mac and cheese.
