INGREDIENTS
1 cup whole wheat macaroni (cooked)
1 cup diced roasted butternut squash
1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Roast the diced butternut squash in the oven or sauté on the stovetop until tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, roasted butternut squash, nonfat Greek yogurt, and half of the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Mix in the fresh thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top.
Mix breadcrumbs with a tiny drizzle of olive oil if desired, then evenly sprinkle them over the cheese layer for extra crispiness.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving.
