Step 1

Heat oven to 425ºF.

Step 2

Spread squash onto one side of parchment-covered rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 min. or until tender, spreading bacon onto other side of baking sheet after 5 min.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook pasta as directed on package, omitting salt. While pasta is cooking, heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 min. Whisk in flour; cook and stir 1 min. Gradually whisk in milk; cook and stir 3 to 5 min. or until thickened. Add 1-1/4 cups shredded cheese and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan; cook and stir 1 to 2 min. or until shredded cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

Drain bacon on paper towels; drain pasta in colander. Add both to cheese sauce along with the squash and sage; mix well. Spoon into 1.5-L casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with remaining cheeses.
