Mac n Cheese with Prosciutto and Squash

This dish is what I like to call adult comfort food. It was such a surprise. We found the recipe in an issue of Men's Health magazine. I've never cooked squash so I stuck to the directions in the recipe and the results were fabulous.


Ingredients
1 box of macaroni and cheese
4 oz. of whole milk ricotta cheese
4 oz. of prosciutto, diced
1/2 of squash (I used acorn), cubed
1 tbsp olive oil

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare macaroni and cheese according to directions on box. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add squash and saute until golden brown and just tender, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plated. Mix ricotta cheese into macaroni. Add sauteed squash and prosciutto. Stir to combine. Pour macaroni into a lightly greased 9 x 9 baking dish. (Optional: you can add breadcrumb to the top of the dish.) Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes or until bubbling.
