Pumpkin Mac and Cheese

This Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Macaroni Recipe Features Fall Flavors

— October 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
This goat cheese macaroni is not just unusual due it its departure from cheddar cheese, but because of its inclusion of squash. Created by Brita Britnell, the pumpkin and goat cheese pasta dish is a seasonal take on a traditional meal enjoyed all over North America.

Topped with sautéed onions, the mac and cheese also incorporates parmesan as well as goat cheese. Perfect for lunch or dinner, the pumpkin and goat cheese macaroni recipe calls for tasty ingredients including pureed pumpkin, grated parmesan cheese, sage leaves, goat cheese, milk, macaroni noodles and onions.

This result is an autumnally appropriate meal you can enjoy all fall long that will keep you warm and full as the weather outside gets colder and colder.
