Now, for the best part of mac and cheese, after the cheese, of course — béchamel. Bechamel is just a creamy white sauce like Alfredo. Here's what you will need to make it:
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saucepan. Then add the flour and stir until it thickens into a roux. This process should take about 3 minutes. Slowly add the milk a cup or two at a time and stir to incorporate the roux. Once all the milk is in, bring to a boil and lower the heat. Add all your spices and adjust taste as needed. If you like a little kick, add cayenne pepper. Lastly, add the cheese and butternut squash puree and mix until fully melted.
