When it is cold outside I (Dawn) crave comfort food. There is nothing more comforting that Mac and Cheese! This is a recipe featured on Fine Cooking's website:
Macaroni and Four Cheeses
Cooking spray
1 16-oz. box elbow macaroni
2 10-oz. packages frozen puréed winter squash
2 cups lowfat milk
1-1/3 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
2/3 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz.)
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tsp. table salt
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 Tbs. plain dry bread crumbs
2 Tbs. freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
1 tsp. olive oil
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 9 x 13-in. baking dish with cooking spray. Cook the macaroni according the package directions. Drain and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Meanwhile, place the frozen squash and milk in a large saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up the squash with a spoon until it is defrosted. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheddar, Jack cheese, ricotta, salt, mustard, and cayenne. Pour this mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine.
Combine the bread crumbs, Parmigiano, and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake until the cheeses are bubbling around the edges, about 20 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.
