Recipe: Butternut Squash Pasta

September 19, 2016

If there’s one comfort food we could eat for the rest of our lives (without risk of gaining weight or raising our cholesterol) it would have to be mac and cheese. There’s just something about that ooey gooey bowl of goodness that does it for us like nothing else, and this fun version made with butternut squash is the perfect way to sneak some much-needed veggies in the mix. —Adrian & Jeremy
