Stolen from Lyn at Escape from Obesity. And...its awesome eating!<BR/><BR/>http://escapefromobesity.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/><BR/>Butternut Macaroni and Cheese<BR/><BR/>1 real big butternut squash, cut in half. Rub the cut sides with a bit of olive oil and roast at 400 degrees on a cookie sheet for 60-75 minutes, until very soft when poked with a fork. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Scoop out all the flesh from one half and put it in a BIG bowl. Break it up into smallish, bite sized chunks. It's fine if some of it ends up mashed. Save the other half for a different recipe.<BR/><BR/>8 oz macaroni. Cook this according to package directions in salted water. While it is cooking, make the sauce. Drain the pasta and put it in the bowl with the squash. Fold it together with a spatula, gently, until well combined.<BR/><BR/>Sauce:<BR/>1.5 T. butter<BR/>1 small onion, chopped small (I use a food processor)<BR/>1 tsp. nutmeg<BR/>1/2 tsp. white pepper (black is fine, white is prettier)<BR/>1.5 T. flour<BR/>1 c. skim milk<BR/>12 oz. cheddar cheese (I think sharp cheddar tastes by far the best)<BR/><BR/>Melt the butter on medium heat in a saucepan. Add the onion and saute til soft. Add nutmeg and white pepper. Add the flour, stir it up good, and then add the milk S-L-O-W-L-Y. I mean, add a little splash and stir it in, then a bit more, stirring each time, until it is all incorporated. Heat almost to the boiling point, stirring often. I used a whisk to keep it smooth. It will thicken a bit. Don't let it boil, or it might not stay smooth, but it will still taste fine. Take it off the heat and add the grated cheese. Stir until melted. Taste and add some salt if you like. (I personally do think this recipe needs a bit of salt, but you decide).<BR/><BR/>Now, pour the sauce over the macaroni and squash. Stir it in gently with a spatula so it is well combined. Put this mixture into a 9 by 13 baking pan sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until hot and bubbly.Tamzinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050745938546570253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696320289124455476.post-62793575489810678972009-01-01T20:03:00.000-08:002009-01-01T20:03:00.000-08:00Great poster and a great 2008 for you.
