Butternut Squash Mac And Cheese With Tofu Recipe
By Earth of Maria
🔪Prep Time: 10 mins
👩🍳Cook Time: 15 mins
Ingredients
10 oz gluten-free pasta
3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 large red onion, diced
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
10 oz extra firm tofu
3 cloves garlic
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp cornstarch
4 cups spinach
1 cup plant based milk
Instructions
1Cook the pasta according to instructions on packaging. This usually takes 10-15 minutes.
2Cook the butternut squash and red onion, until softened, for around 15 minutes. When draining and rinsing the vegetables, retain 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
3Transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender or food processor together with the cooking water, nutritional yeast, tofu, garlic, curry powder, cumin, paprika and cornstarch. Blend on a high speed, until very smooth.
4Add the cooked and drained pasta to a frying pan or saucepan over a medium heat. Add the sauce, salt, spinach and plant based milk. Stir until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens.
