Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. Put butternut squash puree in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the milk , butter, and yogurt and continue to stir until incorporated. When the puree begins to simmer , slowly start adding the cheeses, mixing the entire time. When all of the cheese is melted and the sauce begins to thicken, season with a little salt and pepper, to taste. Taste, and continue to add seasoning until desired flavor is achieved.

  3. When the flavor is spot-on, stir in 1/4 of the macaroni at a time, until all of the pasta is used.

  4. When all of the pasta is saturated with the cheese sauce, transfer the mixture to an oven-safe casserole dish . Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. Serve hot!
