Butternut Mac N Cheese My Other Version
This is different than my other but hides the squash more. This serves 6-8 as a main dish, many more as a side. Cook time is bake time. ***i use fresh puree but zaar won't recognize that ingredient. I baked the squash at 375 for 1 hour and put in the food processor. Fresh or frozen is fine.
