Pumpkin Macaroni & Cheese

This is the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had. Ever. And I'm a big fan of noodles covered in creamy melt-y cheese. 

A friend at work shared this recipe with me, I was a little skeptical, but I tried it out on Thanksgiving and let me assure you, I will be including this on every Thanksgiving menu from now until I'm too old to cook (read: too old to be trusted in the kitchen). 


*Full disclosure, I was unable to find Fontina cheese, so I used all Gruyere instead. I shred it instead of cubing it, and was very happy with the results!
