When I think of delicata squash, I think of “delicate” squash because the skin is thin, edible & nutritious! Full of fiber & flavor, you can create many recipes with this squash.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked pasta shells

  • 2 larger delicata squash

  • 2 tablespoons non-salted butter

  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt

  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Pinch salt/pepper

  • 2 tablespoons of water

Optional toppings/additions:

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

  • Chives
  • Hot pepper flakes

instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350′.

  2. Wrap delicata squash in tin foil and let bake for 20-25 minutes or until the skin is soft to the touch.

  3. Remove squash from the oven, cut in half (longways) and remove the seeds and stem.

  4. In a nutri-bullet or food processor, combine squash (with skin), greek yogurt, salt, pepper, cumin, water and mustard powder.

  5. Blend for 1 minute or until smooth for “delicata cheese”, add more water if the consistency is too thick.

  6. Heat noodles and butter in a medium size pot.

  7. Once butter is melted, add the sauce and stir until evenly coated.
  8. Serve mac and cheese hot, top with additional items if you wish and enjoy!
