Step 3
Turn the heat down to medium-low and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the squash is boiling, cook your pasta according to package directions.

Once the butternut squash is easily pierced with a fork, pour the broth and butternut mixture into a high powered blender along with the cream, cheddar, mozzarella, and salt.
Step 6
Blend until smooth.
Step 7
Drain the pasta and place back into the pot. Pour the smooth cheesy butternut sauce on top and mix until coated.
Step 8
Divide the pasta into bowls and add garnish.
Step 9
Fry the sage leaves in avocado oil for about 1 minute each side until deep green and crisp. Add the fried sage on top of the mac and cheese along with some freshly ground pepper.
