A healthier Mac & Cheese

Earlier today I was bouncing around the internet and came across the Broccoli-Basil Mac and Cheese from 101 Cookbooks and was inspired to make it for lunch.  I had a couple of squash in the refrigerator and the basil has almost given up in the garden so through there couldn't be a better time.

It is a healthier version of mac and cheese and, in my opinion, even tastier.  The significant other, who would be happy never to eat a vegetable again, did say that he prefers regular mac and cheese.

Anyway, the topping is made with breadcrumbs, basil and broccoli chopped in the food processor and the mac is mixed with tomatoes, roasted squash, cheese, sour cream and more basil.  It tastes very good and makes a ton so there will be leftovers this week.
