Method

7 steps · 45 min

01
Preheat, Cook Pasta, Start Sauce
Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat, then add the elbow macaroni and cook until the pasta is al dente.
While the pasta cooks, start the sauce. In a medium size saucepan, melt the vegan buttery spread over medium heat. Stir in the nutritional yeast to form a thick paste.
02
Thicken Sauce
Pour in the soy milk, whisking continuously to ensure the sauce is smooth and lump-free. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until you see it begin to thicken.
03
Add Squash and Cheese
Stir in the pureed butternut squash, mixing thoroughly until it's completely blended into the sauce. The squash will also help to further thicken the sauce.
Add the vegan cheddar shreds and stir them in. Let the sauce sit for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce has a creamy, smooth consistency.
04
Rest Sauce
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it rest briefly.
05
Assemble Casserole
Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly to the cheese sauce. Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated, then pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 9 baking pan.
06
Bake Mac and Cheese
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbling around the edges and the breadcrumbs are lightly toasted.
07
Serve Warm
Serve the mac and cheese warm.
