1/2 cup Skim Milk
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the butternut squash puree, skim milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Mix the cooked macaroni with the squash sauce in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, smoothing the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated through.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
