    my hubby and i love mac & cheese.. this one sounded decadent so we made it for our new year's eve dinner to go along w/ steak and green beans. it was great but now its 5 days later and we still have a ton that i'll have to trash because we had so much leftover. what a shame! cut the recipe at least in half if you're only feeding a few people.

    This is so easy to make and a great way to sneak in a vegetable for my kids without them knowing. I always use 1% milk instead of heavy cream and you really can't taste the difference. I use the thyme sometimes, but my kids enjoy it without it. All in all, a fantastic, quick and delicious meal!

    My family loves mac-n-cheese and butternut squash seperate, so when I saw Rachael cooking this dish I thought what a great dish this would make. It was the most delicious mac-n-cheese we have had. The taste and textures were great. I like a little crunch on the top of my mac-n-cheese, so I made half of the recipe and then added panko bread crumbs to the top of the dish and it was even better. As one reviewer stated, this recipe does make a large quanity, but it is good at a gathering. Thanks Rachel for a great recipe..

    This recipe is just incredible! The squash adds such a great flavor and texture...and sneaks in that extra serving of veggies that we all miss. The sauce recipe does make a lot...so I didn't add it all to the pound of pasta that I cooked. I just added enought to make it all wet. I kept the rest of it and cooked another half pound of pasta later in the week. Thanks again Rachel!

    As in this is NO GOOD. No flavor. Runny. I will not be making this again. Also made the chicken burgers from this episode. Nothing to write home about either. Not too impressed with Ms. Ray's recipes so far.

    This recipe is incredible. I prefer to use fresh butternut squash. I roast it in the oven until its soft and starts to carmelize. I also use quality ingredients like an aged white cheddar & a nice parm. It is super simple to make. Boil the pasta, drain, and set aside to add at the end (when sauce is ready. Make sure the pasta is not over cooked though. This recipe is my boyfriend's all-time favorite food. He swears he could eat it everyday.

    We tried this in a new attempt to get more veggies in with our meals. We also made squash from fresh (no frozen in our area but followed the recipe as directed from there on out. We loved it--it makes a LOT though--so if you're cooking for 2, halve this recipe, otherwise you'll have lots of leftovers! A nice change to traditional mac n cheese, nice sweet flavor and very silky rich texture!

    I actually added 2 eggs to this, mixed the noodles and the sauce together, and then added bread crumbs with parm cheese to the top and baked at 350 for about a half hour. I thought it was great! Very creamy and yummy!!

    If you love mac and cheese, this is the recipe for you! I tried this recipe using fresh butternut squash (not boxed and it turned out really delicious. All you need to do is boil and mash the squash. This recipe has great texture and the squash really kicks up the flavor! Rachael Ray will always be my all time fave!! Thanks!

    I made this recipe with beef broth because i did not have chicken broth at the time and it was GREAT! My father's recipe is hard to beat, but this was fantastic. Good Job Rachel!
