- 1½ tablespoon flour
- pinches salt, pepper, and garlic
- ¾ cup milk
- 1½ cup cheddar cheese
- 10 ounces pasta
Instructions

- Prepare pasta according to box (or how you normally do it!) Drain and set aside.
- In a small pan, heat butter over medium-low heat until melted. Whisk in flour and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in milk, butternut squash, salt, pepper, and garlic.
