Butternut Squash Pasta (Healthy Mac)

I made this great pasta last night. It's best eaten after you make it. I heated it up the next day and it wasn't as good. Still good, but not great. I don't prefer mac -n- cheese reheated anyway.

1- 12oz. pkg. of thawed butternut squash
1-16oz. pkg. of rigatoni
2-cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 cup chicken broth or veggie broth
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded parmesan and asiago cheese
salt and pepper
olive oil and 1 T. butter

Saute garlic in olive oil and butter for 2 minutes
Add squash and saute for 2-3 minutes longer
Add broth, heavy cream, cheese, and whisk until melted.
Season to taste with salt and pepper
Let thicken a little. Pour over pasta!

I know the holiday is over, but here is a great batch of cookies to try: http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/cookies/Top20HolidayCookies.htm
I'll probably try a few. There is always Valentines, right??? I had to run to Target today. Surprisingly they have nothing left. Everything is 75% off. (Xmas stuff) Kmarts sales after Xmas are never great. Alot of B-days in January and February. :) So far I ate almost everything in the gift Rhonda sent, same with Dori's , wear my pajama pants every night and only a few chocolates left. :)Thank you again for all the great gifts for me and my family.
