Ingredients
- 12 ounces whole wheat elbow macaroni cooked al dente
- 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk (any type)
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese 2% reduced fat, sharp, shredded
- 1 cup pumpkin pure
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic (grated)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅓ cup PLAIN yogurt (low fat)
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees and have a medium-sized casserole dish ready. Place prepared pasta in a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium sauce pot and gently whisk in flour. Slowly pour in milk and continuously whisk over medium heat until it begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in shredded cheese, pumpkin, grated garlic, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk mixture until cheese is melted and sauce thickens even further, about 5 more minutes.
- Pour pumpkin cheese sauce over the pasta in the bowl and mix until pasta is evenly coated. Stir in plain yogurt and Dijon, then pour entire mixture into baking dish.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs, parmesan, and olive oil evenly on top of the pasta then bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the contents bubble and the top forms a nice crust.
