Zubereitung von Butternut Mac N Cheese My Other Version

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut butternut squash in half, remove seeds, and bake for 1 hour, or until tender. Let cool slightly, then scoop flesh into a food processor and puree until smooth. (Alternatively, use 2 cups of frozen butternut squash puree).
Cook 1 pound elbow macaroni al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for 1 minute, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk, ensuring no lumps form.
Add 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Bring to a gentle boil, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens.
Stir in 2 cups butternut squash puree until well combined.
Reduce heat to low. Add 8 ounces ricotta cheese or cream cheese, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Gently fold in the cooked pasta.
Pour the mac & cheese into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish or 3-quart casserole dish.
Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
