ingredients

1/2 butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound whole-wheat elbows
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat milk
1 3/4 cups low-fat white cheddar cheese, shredded and divided

directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss squash with oil and salt on a foil-lined tray. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender, set aside.

Cook pasta for 2 minutes less than package directions call for; drain and place in a bowl with squash. Meanwhile, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in flour; cook for 2 minutes.

Slowly whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese; stir until melted. Stir cheese sauce in pasta and squash.

Spoon into 6 greased, individual ramekins. Sprinkle on remaining cheese. Bake 10 minutes.
