I used this pretty natural shaped pumpkin pasta called zucchette for this mac and cheese. 

Add pasta and cook according to the package instructions. I cooked my pasta for 8 minutes then drained.

Melt butter in a skillet then whisk in flour. 

Slowly stir in milk.

Add pumpkin to the mixture.

Whisk until smooth.

Finally, add shredded cheese and mix until blended. Season with salt and pepper. 

Pour cheese sauce over pasta and toss to coat.

Creamy, cheesy, and delicious! 

In a small bowl mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. You can also add a tsp of sage. 

Sprinkle breadcrumb mix on top of the mac and cheese and serve warm.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
