Mac and Cheese from Heaven

This is the mac and cheese that Two will actually eat, and it is spectacular. It's 1/2 from the Seinfeld cookbook and 1/2 from my own head. I love using Annie's mac and cheese - it's quick and has good ingredients. I think the whole wheat pasta complements the squash really well.

1 box Annie's whole wheat mac and cheese
3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup pureed butternut squash
1/2 cup milk (whole or lowfat - doesn't matter)

Prepare the macaroni according to the package. Add the cheese powder from the box to the other ingredients and cook over low heat until well-combined (a whisk makes this fast). Add the drained macaroni and let cook on low for a minute or 3. It will thicken some more if you let it sit covered for a few more minutes off the heat - that's up to you and how hungry you are.
