I made this for my kids becuase they love mac & cheese. I wasnt sure if they would like the butternut squash mixed in but they loved it! Great way to get veggies into your kids by disguising it in their favorite dish as the squash and cheese are the same color.

I usually love Rachael's recipes, but this one just wasn't for me...

I thought this was a great recipe. I had some butternut squash my mom gave me and wanted to do something different with it. The only change I would make is to cut down the nutmeg and add more salt. I liked it a bit saltier instead of sweet. I also have an abundance of garden tomatoes and chopped them fresh into the bowl of mac & cheese, it was fabulous! Thanks for the creative recipe!

We couldn't put our finger on what it was, but this recipe is lacking in flavor. Maybe we are use to eating all cheese macaroni. I found it on the bland side, as did my husband, but I may try it again and doctor it up.

Nothing is worse for you than mac and cheese, but there are times when I just crave it hardcore. I've tried to make low fat versions but it comes out runny and gross. Turns out, butternut squash is the secret. I used the squash, fat free Kraft cheddar shreds and fat free half and half (skim milk and buttermilk and skipped the butter. The sauce doesn't come out as smooth as it would with all the fat, but the squash held everything together and thickened it up so that I was able to get a reasonable facsimilie of mac and cheese. And the left overs took on a Stouffer's Frozen Dinner texture the next day, which I actually like. Still not the healthiest thing going, and I'm sure Rachel's full on fat version kicks my version's butt, but it satisfied the craving without making me feel super guilty. Thought I'd recount my exploits for those who are looking for the same type of thing. Thanks for the idea, Rachel!

This is the first time I made homemade Mac n'Cheese. I had to add a lot of salt to flavor it up, but the end product was delicious! I will definitely make again!

I made this and it is great-my husband and 1 year old daughter enjoyed as well. I wasnt' sure if I could sneek the squash past them, but they loved it. Very easy also...it ususally takes me 60 minutes to make a 30 minute meal-but I did this one in 30...

I wasn't sure if I'd like this so I made only half a recipe. I had no fresh time so I used dry. I had no cream so I used 1% milk. I had no Reggiano parmesan so I used a mixture of parmesan and Pecorino romano. I had no sharp cheese so used Tillamook medium cheddar. However, I has a fresh butternut squash so I steamed that and mashed it. My husband, my three year old, and I all loved it. We ate it all. Great recipe. I can't imagine how good it would be with all the right ingredients!
