Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
nonstick cooking spray
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup nonfat milk ( skim)
1/2 cup butternut squash or 1/2 cup cauliflower , puree
8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp pepper

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain in a colander.
While the macaroni is cooking, coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the oil, then the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture resembles a thick paste but has not browned (1-2 minutes).
Add the milk and cook, stirring every now and then, until the mixture begins to thicken (3 to 4 minutes).
Add the vegetable puree, cheddar, cream cheese and seasonings and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the macaroni and serve warm.
