Ingredients:

Serving

1 butternut squash
1 lb macaroni
1 (12 oz) can fat-free evaporated milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp dry breadcrumbs ( panko works well)
2 tbsp parmesan cheese, shredded
1 tsp melted cooled butter or 1 tsp olive oil
paprika

Directions:

Cut butternut squash in half from top to bottom; remove seeds. Bake cut side down on a shallow baking pan at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until soft. Allow squash to cool. Scoop cooked squash out of the rind and puree, using a blender or food processor. Set aside 2 1/2 cups of puree. The remainder may be frozen, if desired.
Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain well and set aside.
Combine the 2 1/2 cups of pureed squash with the evaporated milk in a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat until just simmering. Remove pan from heat and gradually stir in the next 6 ingredients. (Using an immersion blender is ideal for the smoothest sauce).
Combine the pasta with the sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated. Transfer mixture into a 13 x 9 pan coated with cooking spray.
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, and butter; sprinkle onto surface of casserole. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake casserole at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
