Ingredients:

Serving

cooking spray
1 lb elbow macaroni
2 (10 oz) frozen butternut squash
2 cups 1% low-fat milk
4 oz extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 oz monterey jack cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp mustard powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp unseasoned breadcrumbs
1 tsp olive oil

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender but firm, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, place the frozen squash and milk into a large saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up the squash with a spoon until defrosted. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cheddar, Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, mustard and cayenne pepper. Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the baking dish.
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.
