ACORN SQUASH MACARONI AND CHEESE

If you want to sneak vegetables into your children's food, this is the way to do it. Kids love baked macaroni and cheese recipes, so they'll gladly eat this meal. Acorn Squash Macaroni and Cheese is a nice dinner recipe, and has an earthy flavor from the squash. White Cheddar cheese is the cheese of choice and brings the whole dish together.

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound rigatoni, penne, or elbows

1 pound acorn squash

4 cups low-fat organic milk

6 tablespoons flour

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Kosher salt, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper to taste

8 ounces aged white Cheddar cheese

Directions:



Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the acorn squash into 2 halves. Remove the seeds and

membrane. Divide 1 tablespoon of the butter and set inside each cavity. Rub the cavities with a spot of sea salt and place into the oven to roast for about 45 minutes or until tender.

Remove the squash from the oven. Set aside to cool. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook at a rolling boil until just tender. Drain. Rinse. Set aside.

Chop the squash into bite size pieces, being careful to avoid any skin.

Bring the milk to just a boil in a heavy saucepan. Set aside.

Melt the butter in another pan. Add the flour and whisk over low heat for about 5 minutes. Do not brown. Remove from the heat.

Add the butter mixture to the milk and whisk well to get rid of lumps. Add ½ teaspoon of paprika.

Season with salt and pepper. Return to heat. Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking

constantly until it’s smooth and it thickens, about 5 minutes.

Add milk mixture to the pasta and coat. Mix in squash pieces as well. Pour into a 9 x 12 inch baking dish. Spread the grated cheese over the top of the pasta mixture. Sprinkle the top with the

remaining paprika.

Bake for 25 minutes. Then, place the dish under the broiler (about 4 inches away from heat) and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until slightly golden.

Serve warm.
