"Cheesy" Macaroni Recipe




What’s in it

1 pound pasta (whole grain or brown rice)

Blend together:

1 1/4 cups water

1 cup plain rice milk or almond milk

2 cups softened butternut squash cut in cubes (can be steamed or roasted)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast (or brewer's yeast)

3 tablespoons arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

2 tablespoons tahini

2 teaspoons mellow white miso (or additional salt)

black pepper to taste

1/4 cup brown rice bread crumbs



How it’s made

1. Put the pasta on to boil, according to package directions. While it's cooking, blend all remaining ingredients together in a blender.

2. When the pasta is al dente, drain it, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and return the pasta to pan.

3. Add the sauce mixture and cook, stirring, until mixture boils and thickens. Add a little of the pasta water if more moistness is needed.

4. If the sauce is not as flavorful as you'd like, add a little more mustard and onion powder.

5. Place the pasta and the “cheese sauce” together in a large baking dish and top with brown rice bread crumbs and bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes (if you like the crispy baked kind).

6. If there is extra sauce, leave some aside for another batch.
