@marleysmenuofficial: This Easy Baked Pumpkin Mac and Cheese takes creamy macaroni and cheese and infuses it with the rich and comforting flavors of pumpkin. Easy Baked Pumpkin Mac and Cheese -6 ounces macaroni (or any short pasta) -2 tablespoons unsalted butter -2 tablespoons all-purpose flour -1 cup milk of choice -16 ounces cheddar cheese (I used sharp cheddar) -1 (15-oz) can pumpkin puree -½ teaspoon garlic powder -¼ teaspoon nutmeg -¼ teaspoon black pepper -¼ ounce fresh sage (optional for garnish) -Preheat your oven to 350°F. -Cook your macaroni al dente according to the instructions on the packaging. -To a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and flour. Form a roux by heating and whisking until the butter is melted and it is combined with the flour. -Add the milk and whisk to combine. -Set aside about ½ cup of cheese for the top and add the rest along with the pumpkin puree, garlic powder, nutmeg, and black pepper. Continue to heat and stir until cheese is completely melted and you have a thick sauce. -Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to a 9×13-inch oval or rectangular casserole dish and top with the cheese you set aside. -Bake for 10 minutes, then turn your oven up to broil. Watch closely and remove when the top starts to brown. -Garnish with fresh sage (optional) and serve hot. #PumpkinMacAndCheese #BakedMacAndCheese #FallComfortFood
