Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 200°C/400°F. Toss squash with oil and roast for 25–30 minutes until soft. Meanwhile cook macaroni to package directions.
- Blend squash with milk, salt and mustard powder. Mix sauce with pasta and half the cheddar in a baking dish.
- Top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and the center reaches 74°C/165°F.
A little note
Add a splash of pasta cooking water if the sauce is too thick to coat evenly.
Cooking tips
- Roast squash until soft enough to blend without hard pieces.
- Spread the pasta evenly in the dish and check the center temperature; a golden crumb topping is only a surface cue.
