    1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
    Nonstick Cooking Spray
    1 TBSP Olive Oil
    1 TBSP Flour
    1/2 cup skim milk
    1/2 cup butternut squash or cauliflower puree

Add the oil, the the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture resembles a thick paste but has not browned (1-2 minutes). Add the milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to thicken (3-4 minutes). Add the puree, cheddar, cream cheese, and seasonings and stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir into cooked macaroni and serve warm.
