This is our family favorite version of Mac and Cheese. This Mac and Cheese is creamy, cheesy, and so scrumptious. I love this recipe so much, because its an absolute star recipe. It is made in gorgeous lush sauce made with butternut quash, onions, a couple of garlic cloves and some milk. The pasta is baked topped with parmesan cheese and parsley. The golden crust on the top is our favorite.
Make this Creamy & Healthy Mac and Cheese
Butternut Squash - I am using Boiled Butternut Squash to make the sauce for the recipe. Butternut squash is a winter squash similar to that of a pumpkin, it has gorgeous orange color and has a sweet and nutty flavor. White Onions - I like to use white onions for this recipe, as they are sweet and not spicy. They smell so good once they caramelize in butter with some garlic. Garlic - Garlic is my favorite ingredient to enhance the flavor for any dish. You can definitely skip this ingredient, but I love it. Milk/ Half n Half/ Heavy Cream - This is totally up to you and your taste preference. I used half n half to get a beautiful creamy texture to my sauce, but if you like it more creamy feel free to use heavy cream. Also, if you don’t want to add more fat, milk works just fine. Leftover Water from Boiled Butternut Squash/ Vegetable Broth - I use this to make sure all my ingredients are mixed well in a smooth puree and is in the right consistency. Black Pepper - I use freshly ground black pepper for this recipe. It brings a little bit spice and makes this mac and cheese very flavorful. Salt - I used freshly ground kosher salt, because salt just makes life a little better. Cheese - For this recipe I used a little bit of 5 cheese mix, mozzarella cheese, white cheddar powdered cheese and parmesan cheese for topping for the lush golden crust. Parsley - Finely chopped parsley for the topping.
