Would spinach work instead of kale for the addition of greens at the end?

I’ve never made a recipe so fast! I’m with you- savory pumpkin only please. My whole family LOVED this. And even with making two versions (one GF) it was still fast and easy. We might even get everyone to bed on time tonight! 🎃💕

My whole family (including 2 toddlers) devoured this. French's onions are yummy on top too!!

When I saw Caro posting about this on IG prior to sending it out, I was so excited bc I’d been wanting to make a pumpkin pasta for a while! I told my boyfriend I was going to make it and he was like absolutely not, I don’t want pumpkin pasta. Well, I made it tonight (with Italian sausage) and said he could eat leftover pizza if he didn’t like it. I received a “well that’s quite delightful!” I don’t know why he doubts me, he always loves everything I make from what to cook!

Making a mac and cheese without a roux!?!??? I can’t wait to try it. Could be revolutionary for me

My very picky almost-three-year-old loved this WITH the kale. I played it cool but I was amazed! Great recipe!

This was divine. And so quick and easy.

So delicious - admittedly I added some melted butter and a few pats to the top before broiling because..butter, but it didn't need it ! My pumpkin hating husband is now a convert .

Ok, with you on the pumpkin spice overload, but have you tried the pumpkin spice Jo Jo’s at TJs? They are good!

I’m just here to say this has become an almost weekly staple in my house- my kids (5,3, and 2) have proclaimed it “the best mac and cheese ever!” and still have no idea it has a vegetable in it😂

Made this last night! Children (11&9) LOVED it. Husband said “ I wish it was pumpkinnyyerrr ( it’s a word, trust me) -- then proceeded to have a second serving.

Making the salad tonight!
