🍂 POV: you’re in the mood for a cozy fall dinner 

Welcome to Episode 7 of my fall bucket list series, where I share recipes and activity to do this fall season! 

I was in the mood for some Mac and cheese but with a twist and decided to bake them in an acorn squash! If you’re a fan of butternut squash Mac and cheese you’ll love this! 

🧀 Here is what you need to try this at home: 

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup AP flour 
1 pint of half and half (2 cups)
1 block of cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 block of extra sharp white cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 block of gouda (shredded)
1 block of monterey jack (shredded)
1 block of colby jack (shredded)
1 tsp paprika 
1 tsp Dijon mustard 
1 tsp garlic powder 
2 cups of pasta shells 
1 tsp olive oil 
2 acorn squash 

Instructions 

To prep, boil your pasta shells until they reach al dente. While your shells are boiling, cut off & save the top of your Acorn Squash and hollow out the inside. Place the acorn squash to side until ready to fill. 

In a sauce pan combine the butter & flour at low to medium heat to make a roux. Once done, mix in your half & half, 75% of your shredded cheese, and seasonings until you get a cheese sauce. Once you have your sauce, fold in your al dente pasta shells to the cheese sauce. When you have your Mac & Cheese ready to be baked, place your acorn squash unto a baking pan, drizzle with olive oil and fill with your Mac & Cheese, top with the remaining 25% of your shredded cheese and bake at 375 for 20 to 30 minutes or until the top layer becomes crispy. 

🤎 Enjoy
