I might have been in the minority for this recipe, but it was NOT enjoyed in our house. I so wish that I had halved the recipe like I had been considering. However, I usually am a huge fan of Mac & Cheese. I made this over a week ago and it is still sitting in our fridge. The Hubster and I just don't want to look at it again. I just have to throw the rest away.The recipe was chosen by Supplicious. It looked so good and sounded wonderful. Seriously, Macaroni and Four Cheeses....doesn't that sound delicious? It should really be called Mac & Squash. I couldn't taste any cheese. The only thing I could taste was squash. And lots of it. Before I put it away, I actually dumped about 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese into the pan. The Hubster ate some for lunch the next day and said that it did taste better. However, neither of us have touched it since then.
I doubt that I will be making this one again. If I do make homemade Mac & Cheese, it will not be with a "healthy" twist. It looks like others really enjoyed this recipe though. Check out the other Ellie Cooks for their reviews. You can find the recipe on page 168 in Ellie's cookbook.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Sorry it wasn't a hit at your house - I do agree it's no substitute for real mac & cheese. I have to think of it as just another good pasta dish with squash and cheese!
I totally agree - squash was all I could taste. There wasn't even the faintest hint of cheese. I was really disappointed in this dish. I even halfed the recipe and still threw away about 2/3 of what I made. Here's hoping that the jewel roasted veggies are better!
