INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat macaroni (cooked)
0.5 cup butternut squash puree
0.5 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
0.25 cup low-fat milk
0.25 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 tsp dry mustard powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked whole wheat macaroni, butternut squash puree, low-fat milk, and nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly combined.
Mix in the dry mustard powder along with salt and pepper to taste.
Fold in half of the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese into the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top, followed by the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
