Cook the carrot, cauliflower, butternut squash, courgette and parsnip in water for approx 15mins, leave to cool and then blend until sauce consistency, you may add to add some of the cooking water to loosen it up.
Add the milk, grated cheese and philadelphia, stir using a metal whisk until it looks like a cheese sauce.
Mix the cooked macaroni with the sauce.

I made these plain, but next time for myself I will add some bacon, spring onion and maybe some mushrooms chopped at the end process before filling the muffin tin. Plus I will season with salt, but didn’t do this time around as my baby will be eating them.
