Ingredients

  • ¾ teaspoons Salt, Divided
  • ½ teaspoons Rosemary Or Thyme
  • ¼ teaspoons Pepper
  • 3 cups Butternut Squash In 1 Inch Cubes
  • 4 slices Turkey Bacon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425ºF.

Combine 1/4 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and pepper. Place squash on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt mixture. Bake at 425ºF for 45 minutes or until tender and lightly browned. Increase oven temperature to 450ºF.

Combine flour and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly with a whisk; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add mozzarella, stirring until cheese melts. Add pasta to cheese mixture, tossing well to combine.
