Trying New Recipes

Since the new year we have been making an effort to try out some new recipes. Some healthy some not so healthy, but our favourite so far has to be one we tried earlier this week. Butternut squash macaroni.

It is quite a simple dish buy boy was it tasty. 

I did some prep work the night before by roasting the butternut squash to make things easier the next day. Then when we were ready for the meal it was simply a case of making the squash flesh into a puree and stirring it through a home made white sauce. How easy is that? Then add some part cooked macaroni pasta stir though the sauce and place into a dish. We topped this off with some 3% fat protein cheese (we have recently discovered this and it works great melted on top of things) and some chopped chillis. Then it was baked for 20 minutes at 200 degrees.

I served this with some homemade garlic bread but a simple side salad would have been enough. It was really very filling and very tasty. Definitely one we will be having again some time soon.
