Mac & Cheese deLITE!

Mac & Cheese deLITE!

My all time favorite food is Kraft macaroni and cheese. One year for my birthday we had mac & cheese and pineapple instead of pizza and ice cream! Obviously boxed mac and cheese is not the healthiest choice, but your in luck because I have come up with an alternative!  Here is an amazing recipe for zesty mac and cheese.

Ingredients (3 servings)
6oz whole wheat shell pasta
1/2 cup red-fat sharp cheddar
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded Monterrey jack
1/2 cup frozen butternut squash (de-thawed)
1/2 cup non-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon crushed red peppers
optional: Garlic, Mushrooms, Onions: I put them in everything but its up to you!

Directions: Cook pasta. In a separate sauce pan melt cheese with milk and butternut squash.Add spices. Stir in noodles once the cheese is melted. Pour into baking pan and at 350 bake for 15-20 min. (add some cheese or bread crumbs on top before baking if desired)
