PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked finish, or prepare a stovetop pot for a quicker stove method.

  • 2

    In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  • 3

    In a separate bowl, stir together the butternut squash puree, non-fat Greek yogurt, and low-fat cottage cheese until smooth.

  • 4

    Mix the cooked pasta with the squash mixture in a large bowl. Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

  • 5

    For a stovetop version, gently warm the mixture over low heat just until the cheese starts to melt and the dish is heated through. For a baked version, transfer the pasta mixture to a lightly greased baking dish, top with a bit more cheddar if desired, and bake for 10-12 minutes until bubbly.

    Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, comfort-healthy mac and cheese!
