Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

We enjoyed this, so much I'll make it again. I used a low-fat cheese and fatfree yogurt in place of the ricotta. I also skipped the breadcrumbs and olive oil; I covered the dish when baking. You won't mistake this for "real" mac 'n' cheese, but it's delicious in its own right! Submitted by:

This was so good! Both of my sons wanted seconds--not a frequent occurance when I am trying out a new recipe! I did add more cheese and more salt. We are definitely making this again. Submitted by:

Loved this!!! My 4 kids didn't even know butternut squash was in it! Did not use the topping, and substituted lower fat cheese for regular. I also blended the squash and broth to make a smoother consistency (helped kids not notice the squash.) definitely will make again! Submitted by:

Great recipe! I used more butternut squash than it called for and put in 1/2 cup of full fat sour cream and it tasted great! Submitted by:

This recipe was really good. I pureed my cooked squash, used Ronzoni Garden Delight Pasta (enriched Tomato Carrot & Spinach Pasta Blend.) I had no Veggie Stock so I used 1 small Knorrs Chicken Boullion cube and deleted the required salt that the original recipe asked for. Muy Excellente'!!! Submitted by:

this was very good I have made the countless times for my family as a way to 'hide' the veggies when my kids were young. I used frozen squash as a time saver and just use parm cheese as a topping instead. I have used crushed salt free pretzels before and it's yummy but kids don't like them lol. Submitted by:

Definitely sounds like one to try, espc. with variation of pumpkin since I have that in the freezer. Plus, Mac-n-Cheese is done fairly often (DD does sports snd always looking for carbs before the gsme/meet) Submitted by:

I've revised my opinion of this recipe. When I first tried it yesterday, I rated it "bad". Today I had it left over, added more salt and a tablespoon of flax meal and enjoyed it a bit more. I thought it only fair to say so. I'm glad most people seem to be loving it. Submitted by:

The butternut squash made this dish a little too sweet for me. I might try some fat free sour cream instead of ricotta cheese next time. It is a good way to get a vegetable in your menu. Submitted by:

If you are using 1 pound of dry noodles, you need a 9 x 13 inch pan. I would add more salt and less nutmeg. Submitted by:

I substituted low fat mozzarella and goat cheese for the cheddar and ricotta since I didn't want to go to the store and it was delish. For breadcrumbs I used panko. Crumbled 3 slices of cooked proscuitto for extra yum. Wasn't that much work Submitted by:

This looks very promising, but I am confused about the cooking method. How many pots are there? Which is the saucepan? I will have to work with this, substituting low-fat cheddar for full-fat, but I think it is worth it. Submitted by:

This was very good. Could use a little more cheese. We used 50% fat free cheddar cheese. Submitted by:

Loved this! Had a great flavour but didn't leave me with that greasy bloated feeling. Prefer this to full fat mac & Cheese! Submitted by:

This is my new fave! However, I did make a bunch of changes... I used a lot of ingredients that had far less calories and I still got to a serving with about 290 cal. It was time consuming, but so freaking good I WILL make this again! To reheat add water and cover w/ moist towel. Also added tuna Submitted by:
