How To Make harvest pumpkin mac and cheese

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350°. Cook your pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain and cool, return to pot and sprinkle with Mrs. Dash seasoning.
• Step 2
  Cheese Sauce: In a blender combine the pumpkin and 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Blend. Set aside. In a large saucepan milt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and some salt and pepper. Add the remaining whipping cream all at once and milk all at once. Cook stirring constantly over medium heat until slightly thick and bubbly. Stir in your cheese and pumpkin mixture. If a little too thick, you can add some more milk but slowly. Once combined, stir the sauce into your pasta and coat well.
• Step 3
  Mix your panko bread crumbs and nuts in a small bowl. Pour the pasta in a prepared baking dish which was sprayed with cooking spray. Top with your panko and nut mixture and bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes until nice and brown.
