Description

Sweet butternut squash and earthy sage add lots of flavour and texture to this grown up version of mac and cheese.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C. Toss the butternut squash in oil and toss with the finely chopped sage leaves in a roasting tin. Roast for 20 minutes Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the macaroni for 8 minutes. Drain and tip into a large baking dish.

Step 2 of 4

Heat the butter in a large, deep pan on medium heat and stir in the mustard and flour. Pour in a quarter of the milk. Stir to thicken, then gradually add the remaining milk, stirring all the time until you have a thick sauce.

Step 3 of 4

Take the pan off the heat and add in half of the butternut squash, mashing roughly with the back of a wooden spoon. Stir in the grated cheddar and parmesan. Pour the sauce over the macaroni mix well to coat. Gently stir in the rest of the squash.

Step 4 of 4

Reduce the oven to 180°C. Top the macaroni with the remaining sage leaves and a drizzle of oil and bake for 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
