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.

Vickys Shortcrust Pineapple Pie, GF DF EF SF NF Vickys Shortcrust Pineapple Pie, GF DF EF SF NF
Jack has been in love with pineapple for a while now and luckily that has been the one thing we've managed to pick up (in a tin) at the supermarket each week during the 2020 shopping restrictions. You need at least 700g drained pineapple weight for a decently filled pie. The amount of sugar you need depends on the type of pineapple ie if it's unsweetened or not Vicky@Jacks Free-From Cookbook
