Squash Pasta Bake Recipe

Along with the 2 recipes below, I've been eating this meal weekly while on my new diet.
(Visit HERE if you'd like to read about the new diet I've been doing - calorie shifting)

It's really yummy!  A small serving fills you up... I cooked up the whole box and in the last two weeks have had it 8 times (or either lunch or dinner).  I also didn't make it into a bake because I was too hungry at the time of making it and kept it as a pasta... just stirring the cheese and everything together (I also used less sauce... just enough to coat).

Here is where I got the recipe

Apricot Turkey Sandwiches

I LOVE this sandwich and I love that there's (turkey) bacon on it too.  Mmmm.  The flavors just mesh so well to me.
