Vegan Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 servings pasta of choice (here are a few of my favorite pastas)
• 2 cups butternut squash
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 tbsp paprika
• 1/2 tbsp onion powder
• 1/4 cup cashews
• 1/2 cup canned coconut milk

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
2. Add squash to a pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until squash is soft enough to easily pierce with a fork.
3. Into a blender, combine the squash, nutritional yeast, garlic, paprika, onion powder, cashews, coconut milk, and 1/4 cup reserved cooking water. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour the “cheese sauce” over the cooked pasta and mix to combine.
5. Serve, top with salt & pepper to taste, and enjoy!
