Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high, add butternut squash, stock, milk and garlic. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until the squash is tender (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and add to the base of a blender. Add in the Greek yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Blend starting on low and slowly increase the speed, being careful to avoid splatters. Blend until smooth and then add in the Gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Blend again until combined and cheese is melted. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cavatappi according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add panko and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside. When pasta is done, drain and add it directly to the cheesy squash mixture. Serve with the toasted panko sprinkled on top. Garnish with chopped parsley. Tips - Make the cheese-squash sauce ahead of time and warm before use. - Buy pre-cut squash for easier preparation or steam/microwave a whole squash to easily cut and peel.
