Preparation
Mise en place
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs (shuck if necessary).
- Halve, peel and small-dice the onion.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a second large pot, heat 4 tbsp butter on medium.
- Add the squash and onion. Sauté, 5 to 7 min., until tender; mash the squash.
- Add the corn and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until browned.
Boil the pasta
- Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 9 to 11 min., until al dente.
- Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Make the cheese sauce
- To the pot of vegetables, add the garlic and spices. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until a paste forms.
- Slowly add the milk and 2 cups water; season with S&P.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, scraping up any roux, 2 to 3 min., until thickened.
- Add the cheese; stir well.
Make the mac 'n' cheese & serve
- To the pot of sauce, add the pasta and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until combined and warmed through.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Divide the mac 'n' cheese between your bowls. Bon appétit!
