Directions:

  1. •Put cauliflower florets in microwave safe dish and cook covered for 10 minutes, or until tender.
  2. •In a large pot, bring pasta water to a boil.
  3. •Add pasta, and cook until al dente, I recommend 2 minutes less than the package says.
  4. •Drain and add back to the pot, off the heat.
  5. •In another, small pot, boil milk and pasta water (scoop it out of the boiling pasta pot) with the butternut squash.
  6. •Add the butternut squash and milk mix into a blender with the cheeses.
  7. •Add the cauliflower.
  8. •Blend until smooth.
  9. •Taste, you will probably need to add a decent amount of salt.
  10. •Add the sauce to the pasta and place in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
  11. •Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed (yes again – this is your last chance to get it perfect!).
  12. Melt butter and mix with bread crumbs.
  13. Sprinkle bread crumbs over mac n cheese.
  14. Cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until breadcrumbs are golden.
  15. Can be made ahead and refridgerated. Just cook 30 minutes.
  16. •Eat up! (And don’t tell!).
