1 lb. macaroni with ridges, such as tubettini or mini penne rigate<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3 T. all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

Heat a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Salt the water, then add the pasta and cook al dente. While the pasta cooks, heat a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the EVOO and butter. When the butter melts into the oil, add the thyme and grate the onion directly into the pot with a hand-held grater or microplane. Cook the grated onions for a minute or 2, then add the flour and cook together for a minute or 2 more. Whisk in the stock, then add the butternut squash and cook until warmed through and smooth. Stir in the cream and bring the sauce to a bubble. Stir in the cheeses in a figure-eight motion and season the completed sauce with salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Taste to adjust seasonings. Drain the cooked pasta well and combine with the sauce.<\/p>\n
