I can’t believe it’s October already! Fall is here, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a recipe featuring butternut squash and sage. This Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage Mac & Cheese is a cozy, satisfying dish perfect for the whole family.
Good morning, everyone!
Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage Mac & Cheese
Mac & cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods, and during this pregnancy I’ve been craving it even more. I found a version of this recipe in Cooking Light magazine and knew I had to try it. The original included bacon and green onions, but I swapped those ingredients for fresh sage to highlight the classic pairing of butternut squash and sage—especially lovely in a pasta dish.
The dish comes together with roasted butternut squash adding natural sweetness and a silky texture, while fontina cheese brings a nutty, creamy richness that complements the squash and sage. The result is a balanced, comforting bowl that’s perfect for cool, crisp days.
If you enjoy homemade pasta bakes and seasonal flavors, this mac & cheese is an ideal choice for weeknight dinners or a relaxed weekend meal. It’s simple enough for family nights yet flavorful enough to serve to guests.
Today I’m sharing this Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage Mac & Cheese recipe—enjoy the cozy flavors of fall!
