This comforting baked mac and cheese with a garlicky roast butternut squash sauce is the perfect warming dinner for colder days! This vegetarian dinner is a comforting midweek family dinner, and with the butternut blended into the sauce, it is also great for fussy kids!
Butternut squash is roasted with fresh thyme and whole cloves of garlic, which are then mixed into a homemade bechamel sauce together with paprika and a touch of chilli powder (which is optional). The roasted butternut squash adds a sweetness to the cheese sauce as well as giving it a lovely color! The mac and cheese is then sprinkled with cheddar and parmesan and baked until golden and bubbling.
