Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain in a colander.
- While the macaroni is cooking, coat a large saucepan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Add the oil, then 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 every now and then, until the mixture begins to thicken (3 to 4 minutes).
- Add the vegetable puree, cheddar, cream cheese and seasonings and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in the macaroni and serve warm.

[email protected]This is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The butternut squash is hidden in the cheese sauce, so they won't even know they're eating it.
