How Do I Make Mac and Cheese with a Healthy Veggie Twist?

Here is how you make Mac and Cheese with a Healthy Veggie Twist:

Choose your 100% whole wheat pasta (bows, elbow, penne, etc.) and cook an amount that will equal 3 cups when fully cooked. While this is cooking, preheat the oven to 385 degrees. Then put the milk, squash, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, black pepper and garlic powder in a blender and blend well to make a thick cheesy sauce. Once blended very well, pour the sauce into a 9" x 11" baking dish. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it without rinsing. Pour the pasta into the dish with the cheese sauce and mix to coat well. Top with grated parmesan cheese and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.Options: the squash works best if it is the frozen cubed kind.
