| Post subject: | Mac and cheese lightened up |
I saw this recipe made on 'The Chew' a while back and thought I'd try it. It was amazingly good! I rarely ever made mac and cheese just because it can be a bit heavy on the calories and it always makes so much that I have too many leftovers which can get dense when stored. This recipe is none of those things and I will be making it over and over again. I like using the pre-cut squash. P.S. I guarantee you will like this. Lightened Up Squash Mac and Cheese 3 cups cubed butternut squash 1 1/4 cups chicken stock 1 1/2 cups milk 2 cloves garlic 2 Tbs fat-free Greek yogurt 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 1 lb cavatappi pasta 1 Tbs butter 1/2 cup Italian seasoned panko breadcrumbs 2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. In a medium saucepan over medium-high, add butternut squash, stock, milk and garlic. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the squash is tender (about 20 minutes). 2. Remove from heat and add to the base of a blender. Add in the Greek yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Blend starting on low and slowly increase the speed, being careful to avoid splatters. Blend until smooth and then add in the Gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Blend again until combined and cheese is melted. Pour into a large mixing bowl and set aside. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 4. Cook the cavatappi according to the package instructions. 5. Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add panko and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside. 6. When pasta is done, drain and add it directly to the cheesy squash mixture. 7. Serve with the toasted panko sprinkled on top. Garnish with chopped parsley. Source: The Chew Recipes |

I first made this recipe in October 2011 and it has been in our roster since. It was originally published in the Cooking Light September 2011 Magazine. I't's shameful and sad that The Chew took credit for this recipe. http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smar ... oni-cheese and http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/creamy- ... oni-cheese |
