Healthier Mac And Cheese

1. 1

   Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. Put the butternut squash on a baking sheet. Toss with oil and salt and pepper. Roast until squash is tender, but roasted and caramelized. Boil your pasta 2 minutes less than the package asks. Strain and put into a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Now, turn your oven to 500 degrees.

3. 3

   Puree two cups of the squash into the blender with the milk/cream until smooth. Chop up the remaining squash and add. If you don't like that texture, just puree all of the squash.

4. 4

   Add to the bowl the pureed squash, the thyme, and 3/4 of the cheese. Mix until combined. Put into a baking dish and add the remaining cheese. Bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes.
