Baked Mac & Cheese with Butternut Squash
Super savory with just a background hint of sweet. The poblano and garlic adds amazing depth to a classic dish while the squash brings a bit of sweet and amazingly creamy texture without having to overload with cheese... unless you want too which is always good too!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°

In large pan heat 2 tbsp oil and soften the poblano and garlic.

Whisk in the flour along with the spices. Cook until the raw taste from the flour is gone, about 15 minutes whisking periodically.
- 4
Slowly whisk in the butter milk and allow to thicken slightly.
- 5
Once the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon start whisking in the squash and 3.5 cups of the cheddar cheese.
- 6
After the cheese and squash are incorporated stir in cooked pasta.
- 7
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
