Pumpkin Mac &Cheese
This is one of those cozy meals that feels fancy… but is actually simple to make and perfect for using up pantry + garden ingredients.
Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/2 large sweet onion (diced)
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Pepper to taste
• 1–2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 cups stock (I use chicken)
• 2 cups milk or heavy cream
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup havarti
• 2 tbsp cream cheese
Topping:
• 6 slices havarti
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp melted butter
Directions:
1. Cook pasta in salted water and set aside.
2. In a large pan, heat oil and sauté diced onion until soft.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
4. Add spices, Dijon, and slowly whisk in stock and milk.
5. Stir in pumpkin puree and let it thicken.
6. Add cheddar, havarti, and cream cheese—mix until smooth.
7. Combine sauce with cooked pasta and transfer to a baking dish.
8. Top with havarti slices.
9. Mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, and melted butter—sprinkle on top.
10. Bake at 375°F until bubbly and golden.
Real food. Simple ingredients. This is the kind of meal that fills your pantry *and* your table.
