This recipe is being posted here specifically for my friend Kevin. When he and another friend came over for dinner one night, I wanted to make something tasty yet simple... so here's the recipe for Kevin and any other hungry people out there!
Here's your shopping list:
-1 box pasta (any kind will work but I like to use rigatoni even though bowties are featured in the photos)
-approximately 8 oz. of mild or medium cheddar cheese
-1 container frozen butternut squash (fresh works too... but this is easier)
-1 tbsp butter
-splash of EVOO (optional)
-1/4 cup milk
PREHEAT oven to 375 degrees
heat butter, milk, and EVOO over medium heat, crumble cheddar in and mix until melted, add in squash and mix until creamy, add any herbs you'd like (I use a dash of salt, red pepper, parsley, sage, and a bit of garlic).
Meanwhile... boil pasta until al dente... or have a handsome assistant do it for you :]
When boiled and strained, spoon pasta into cheese mixture a little at a time until all pasta is coated. Then pour pasta into a baking dish (I didn't have one so I used a glass pie dish). Top with panko bread crumbs and asiago cheese.
Place in oven and cook for 25 minutes or until top gets lightly browned. Take it out and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
