Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
We had our first neighborhood dinner group a few weeks ago at my house. I am envious of those bloggers who are members of dinner groups and mange to find the time to take photos of their dishes. Needless to say, that wasn't me. I made Butternut Squash Lasagna. Between trying to make sure the lasagna was the right temperature to cut and the wine was on the table, no pictures were taken.
Whenever I make lasagne, I never seem to have the proportions the recipe says I should have. I made a full recipe and a half recipe. After assembling an oversized 9 x 13 pan, I had leftover noodles and squash mixture. What to do with the leftover squash mixture? How about a mac and cheese? I added a little Monterey Jack cheese and topped with bread crumbs. It came out perfectly and makes a delicious and healthy mac and cheese.
I always have trouble getting pictures of my food before it's devoured! Great idea to add butternut squash to both dishes.
