Loved it! Although I made a few slight modifications. Instead of frozen squash, I roasted a butternut squash. I minced 1/2 sweet onion and 2 cloves garlic, sauting in a little olive oil and 1 teaspoon butter. Then added the roasted squash and milk to the onions and garlic, following the recipe's directions as written. Omitted the cayenne pepper. Kept all other ingredients as written. I think hard-core mac and cheese lovers that crave the gooey-ness of cheese might be disappointed. For those who like mac and cheese and want a healthy alternative, this is your recipe!

This was the bomb! Loved it! I did not have cayenne pepper, and was stressing, but I used red pepper flakes instead and took the seeds out. I did add more bread crumbs then what it called for and used Panko Japanese bread crumbs, it was delicious! My 6 year old will not eat veggies, and she loved it and didn't have a clue it was healthy! Love it! Will definitely add to my dinner menu.

Ok, if you are making this your first week of trying to eat healthy you might be disappointed. I have not had "real" mac & cheese in a very long time, so to me, this dish was amazing! I don't like squash really but I couldn't even taste it. I think a lot of people are not following the recipe exactly like it says. Use full fat cheeses with lots of flavor, and don't skimp on the 1% milk. I was very impressed!!!!

Not at all good. All I tasted was the squash. Made half the recipe, but upped the cheese. Did not help the flavor. Very disappointing since I used the extra sharp cheese. Really needs something to up the flavor. Have lots of leftovers to toss. Will NOT make again.

I have always made our family mac and cheese recipe that uses four different cheeses and is totally unhealthy. When I came across this recipe I was very skeptical...I hate ricotta cheese and thought it was strange that it called for squash. When it was all baked I couldn't believe that it was cheesy and satisfying and the texture is so creamy and yummy. I know for a fact that this dish needs each and every specific ingredient to pull off hiding the squash, including the use of the cayenne pepper, mustard powder, and all the cheeses. So I'm not sure what Yooper was talking about, but in my opinion this is a 5 star recipe, Ellie has it going on! Oh and as for your pasta choice, look for Dreamfield Pasta it comes in a black box and has a low glycemic index.

This was more like "Macaroni and Pureed Butternut Squash" instead of Macaroni and Cheese! Really, that's all I could taste! It wasn't a bad taste, but I was expecting it to taste more like the real thing! I even sprinkled the other half of the 8 ounces of shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese after I tasted it when it came out of the oven in hopes of upping the cheese flavor, but alas, all I could taste was the butternut squash. If I had known it was going to have such a pronounced flavor, I would have skipped the cheese entirely, or just used some low fat cheddar, (maybe 1 cup to bind the butternut squash sauce to save the calories. I had high hopes for this one, based on all the reviews, plus watching Ellie make this on her show, but sadly, I will keep searching for a more cheesier low fat version of this classic dish!
