HARVEST MOON PASTA - RACHAEL RAY



Harvest Moon Pasta - Rachael Ray image

This is a Rachael Ray recipe. This is so good, I just had to sit down and post it. A few modifications: I used ziti, 2% milk, a mexican blend of cheese and quite a bit of sriracha hot sauce. I omited the thyme, simply because I forgot it. It looks and feels like I'm eating creamy mac and cheese, but its better and more sophisticated...and comforting. I usually shy away from her recipes because they have too many ingredients and take way longer than she indicates. I relented as I had all the ingredients on hand. Yum-O. seriously.

HARVEST MOON MACARONI - RACHAEL RAY



Harvest Moon Macaroni - Rachael Ray image

This is Rachael Ray's recipe, and it is quite tasty! I am posting it the original recipe, but I used a full box of squash for only half the recipe, reduced the oil significantly, used 1% milk, and added sage rather than nutmeg, as I am not a fan of nutmeg. It still has a very creamy texture, without all the cheese of your regular mac and cheese.

HARVEST MOON MACARONI ALA RACHAEL RAY



Harvest Moon Macaroni Ala Rachael Ray image

I saw this on the 10/25/08 episode of 30 Minute Meals and just had to try it. It was WONDERFUL! Even my husband who isn't the biggest fan of squash in general really enjoyed this. The recipe calls for a 10oz box of frozen butternut squash, but I couldn't find that ANYWHERE I looked so I just bought a butternut squash, halved it, seeded it, and roasted it in a 350 degree oven for about an hour and a half and then peeled it and pureed it. I used about a quarter of it for this recipe, and the rest I'll reserve for butternut squash soup this fall. I thought about using jars of butternut squash baby food, but thought better about it for my first attmpt at this, but after pureeing the squash with a little bit of water, I'm sure baby food would work out just fine in this if you're okay with that.
