Mix to combine, the flour will stick on the onion, do not let brown. Slowly add 1 cup of milk to the onion, about 1Tablespoon  at a time, stirring constantly so a thick sauce forms.  At first it will look like paste, but as you slowly add the milk, a thick white sauce will form.  Go slowly, adding the milk and stirring until the sauce bubbles and absorbs the liquid. <\/p>\n<p>Once a thick sauce has formed (about 10-15 minutes) fold in the mashed squash, mustard powder, cheese, nutmeg and fresh grated pepper.  If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of boiling pasta water to thin it down. <\/p>\n<p>Drain the cooked pasta and gently fold it into the sauce.  Mound the pasta into a grease pie plate, or indivdually sized casserole dishes (4) and top with a light sprinkle of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.  (Can be made ahead and frozen up to this point).<\/p>\n<p>Bake in the oven at 350\u00b0F for 35 minutes (double the time if previously frozen), until the pasta edges are crusty and brown and the middle is piping hot.<\/p>\n<p>Serves 4<\/p>\n<p><em>Recipe courtesy of Gazy Brothers Farm<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of dish: Main Dish, Side Dish This recipe is courtesy of our CSA customer Terri.
