Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese

I created this dish after my father had triple bypass surgery. He loves comfort food and I wanted him to be able to enjoy a rich and tasty dish like mac & cheese without all the fat and butter. It's also a great way to sneak in some veggies for children.

Ingreadient:

• 8 ounces uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni
• 1 medium butternut squash (about 3 pounds), seeded and cubed
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup fat-free milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Dash ground nutmeg
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs

Directions :

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Place squash in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook, covered, 8-10 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, place yogurt, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a blender. Drain squash and transfer to blender; cover and process until pureed. Return mixture to saucepan; heat through. Stir in cheeses until melted.
3. Drain pasta; add to squash mixture. Toss to coat. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
4. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
