INGREDIENTS
2 oz Whole Wheat Macaroni (dry; 56g)
1 cup Butternut Squash (cubed; 205g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (56g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (62g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Milk (120g)
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel, cube, and toss the butternut squash with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, cook the whole wheat macaroni in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a blender, combine the roasted butternut squash, nonfat Greek yogurt, nonfat milk, and low-fat cheddar cheese. Blend until smooth to form a creamy sauce.
Return the pasta to the pot and pour in the butternut squash sauce, stirring gently to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder if needed.
Heat the mixture over low-medium heat for 2-3 minutes until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, creamy, and comforting butternut squash mac and cheese.
