Vickys Butternut Squash Pasta Bake, GF DF EF SF NF

This is a great, simple kids dish, kind of a cheats Mac 'n' Cheese. The pureed squash takes the place of the basic white sauce. You can replace the cheese with nutritional yeast flakes, you may need to add a touch extra water as they're a thickener. You shouldn't need any extra salt if the pasta water is well salted
