Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the macaroni until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
- Carefully cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Drizzle half of the squash with olive oil and place it on a rimmed baking sheet cut-side up (reserve the other half of the squash in the fridge for another use). Roast, watching to make sure the surface doesn't get burned (it should have some brown areas, however), until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Scrape out the flesh into a bowl and mash with a potato masher. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
- While the squash is roasting, add the onions and 2 tablespoons of the butter to a large, ovenproof skillet over low to medium-low heat. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they're deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove them to a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-low heat. Sprinkle over the flour and whisk it to make a thin paste. Cook it for 2 minutes, then whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking gently, until slightly thick, a couple of minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings. You'll probably want to add more salt!
- Turn the heat to low and stir in the mashed butternut squash. When it is warm, stir in the cheese. If the sauce is overly thick when the cheese is melted, add a splash of milk. Keep stirring until the sauce is nice and hot, then stir in the macaroni. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a pan and combine it with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the macaroni and bake (I do it straight in the skillet) until the crumbs are golden and the edges bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH MAC AND CHEESE
I know it sounds odd, but my girl LOVED butternut squash! This dog might even go for it before a steak, especially if there were also pasta and cheese involved in the deal!

Steps:
- Heat a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Salt the water then add the pasta and cook to al dente or, with a bite to it.
- While pasta cooks, heat a medium heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the extra-virgin olive oil and butter. When the butter melts into the oil, add the thyme and grate the onion directly into the pot with a hand held grater or Microplane. Cook the grated onion in butter and oil 1 to 2 minutes, then add flour and cook together 1 to 2 more minutes. Whisk in stock, then combine with butternut squash until warmed through and smooth. Stir in cream or half-and-half and bring sauce to a bubble. Stir in cheeses in a figure 8 motion and season the completed sauce with salt, nutmeg and pepper. Taste to adjust seasonings.
- Drain cooked pasta well and combine with sauce. Serve alongside chicken sammies and top with thyme leaves picked from remaining sprigs (Boo would also have a little extra sprinkle of that cheese, please!)

Steps:
- Make Breadcrumbs and set aside. Heat oil in skillet over med.-high heat. Add shallots and rosemary; sauté about 5 minutes. Mix in breadcrumbs. Cook another couple mins., just to give panko a little color/flavor; stir in parsley & pour mixture in bowl. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9 baking dish. Caramelize butternut squash in butter with sage. (start early so you can cook it well enough). Cube up about 2/3 to ¾ of a med. butternut squash into ½" cubes. Tear up 6-8 fresh sage leafs into 1/2"+ pieces. Heat several tbls butter in large skillet over med./med.-high heat (enough to generously coat whole skillet). Cover about 80% of skillet with single layer of squash cubes. Toss in a pinch or two of the sage leaves. Allow the squash to cook down and caramelize. Stir/flip INFREQUENTLY (do not mash the cubes - let them cook.). You want the cubes to get a nice, caramelized look to them - not burnt, but definitely starting to brown. When they are about half-way there, throw in a few more larger leafs of sage. Set the finished squash cubes aside in a bowl. Cook macaroni until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Make Mac 'n Cheese sauce. Melt 3 tbls butter in large pot over med. heat. Add shallots and garlic; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour; stir constantly 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, whisking occasionally, until mixture begins to boil, about 5 minutes. Add Monterey Jack and Gouda gradually, stirring until cheeses melt, about 2 minutes. Stir in nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Gently mix butternut squash/sage in to cheese sauce. Stir macaroni into warm cheese sauce, mixing gently. Pour Mac 'n Cheese into buttered 13x9 baking dish. Evenly spread breadcrumb mixture on top of Mac 'n Cheese in baking dish. Bake mac and cheese until breadcrumbs are golden, about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. EAT THAT JUNK!

- Cook the pasta in a medium pot of boiling salted water until al dente – drain, return the pasta to the pot and set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine the squash, milk, butter and flour in the blender (I used a Vitamix Ascent 3500) and, starting at Variable 1, gradually turn it up to Variable 10 and blend for 3 minutes (it should be steaming when ready). Add the cheese and blend on Variable 10 for another 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the macaroni, stir to combine, and transfer the macaroni into the prepared baking dish.
