Cheesy Mac and Butternut Squash

This is a lighter version of mac & cheese with added veggies. My 13 month old won't eat butternut squash by itself but she has no clue it's in mac & cheese. It works for husbands too :)The day I made this I only had regular macaroni but I would normally use whole wheat macaroni. I also season it with some black pepper, oregano, and paprika. I don't like salt so I hardly use it and my family doesn't even notice.
