Mac n Cheez

Here is a creamy, delicious and nutritious version of the traditional comfort food Mac and Cheese. 

This cheez sauce is so versatile that you could use it on steamed or baked veggies or as a dip! 

It is also filled with B vitamins, Vitamin A and C, calcium and fiber!

Makes 3-4 cups

Ingredients

1.5-2 cups boiled or baked butternut squash, cut into cubes, then mashed

1/3 cup cashew butter

1/3 cup tahini

1 cup boiling water (you might want to add less or more, depending on how thick or thin you want your sauce)

1/3 cup nutritional yeast

2 tbsp ghee or coconut oil

1 bouillon cube (I used onion)

2 cloves garlic

2 tsp turmeric powder

1/8 – 1/4 tsp chili pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

1 cup shredded cheese of choice

6 cups dried spiral or macaroni pasta of choice

Directions

  1.  In a powerful blender, add all ingredients except shredded cheese and pasta.  Blend very well until creamy and smooth.  Set aside.
  2.  Cook your pasta “al dente”, drain water and add sauce to pasta.  Top with shredded cheese of choice and enjoy!
