Instructions
Step 1
Boil pasta and salted water according to package directions. Meanwhile, chop up yellow summer squash and put into small amount of water and boil on low until tender. Drain the pot with the summer squash in it then add the squash tube blender with a large splash of vegetable broth. If you do not have vegetable broth, you can use a bit of the almond milk or even just water. Blend the summer squash until smooth. Set aside. In a new pan, melt the butter and quickly cooked the one chopped shallot. Add quarter cup flour and whisk into a roux. Add 1 cup any kind of milk along with blended squash and begin whisking the mix constantly on medium high until thick. Remove from heat and slowly add in salt, pepper, onion powder and shredded cheese, stirring until completely melted. Add in cooked and drained pasta and stir until fully coated. Now mix in 2 cups of optional chopped greens. Pour this mixture into a grease 9x13 pan and then top with a quarter cup bread crumbs and put into oven set to 375 for 20 to 25 minutes.
