I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond milk for the regular milk in this recipe. It turned out great!

I'm not sure why, but my mac and cheese turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked the butternut squash.

I had some trouble getting the breadcrumb topping to brown. I think I might have needed to cook it for a little longer.

This mac and cheese was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce.
