SUPER CREAMY VEGAN STOVETOP MAC & "CHEESE"

PREP: 10 MINUTES COOK: 25 MINUTES TOTAL: 35 MINUTES

Vegan comfort food at its finest, this easy vegan mac and cheese is made with sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and other mainstream real-food ingredients. No weird stuff here – just pure macaroni and cheese-like deliciousness!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 8 ounces penne or macaroni pasta (shells and rotini are also good)*
  • 3 cups diced butternut squash (about 1/2 small squash)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
  • 1 medium clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 3/4 cup canned coconut milk (lite works also; the sauce may just be a bit thinner)
  • 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce, to taste

DIRECTIONS:
  1. Fill a large pot 2/3 full with water and place over high heat. Once boiling, add a few generous pinches of salt and add the pasta. Cook according to the time on the package until al dente. Drain and return to pan (off heat). Set aside.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, fill another large pot 2/3 full with water and place over high heat. Add the squash and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the veggies are fork-tender, 7-8 minutes. Drain and add to the pitcher of a heat-proof, high-powered blender (I use a Vitamix).** Set aside.
