Butternut Squash with Cheesy Pasta

I think I first tasted this recipe at Wegmans. I made it for my son, Dan , and he loved it! It's now a favorite of ours.

1 butternut squash
About 3-4 T. olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 jar Alfredo sauce or 1 recipe of your own cheese sauce*
1 # pasta (bows, shells, etc.)

1. Cut the squash into small cubes. Mix with olive oil, salt & pepper. (I use Trocomare and Spike, Hot & Spicy). Roast on a cookie sheet until tender.

2. Cook pasta until al dente; drain and add sauce with cooked squash.

To make your own sauce:

2 T. butter
2 T. flour
2 cups milk
1 c. shredded American cheese or blend

Melt butter; add flour and cook for a minute or two. Add milk gradually and stir until thick. Add cheese and stir until melted.
