How to make Vegan Butternut Squash Mac
Timing details
No verified total time is available. Review the method for preparation, cooking and waiting times.
- 01
Cut off both ends of the butternut squash and poke all over with a fork. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes.
- 02
Peel the skin off of the squash. The skin should peel right off! Once peeled, slice the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and cut into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes. You should have about 5 cups (1 kg).
- 03
In a slow cooker, combine the squash, onion, cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, rosemary, nutmeg, olive oil, mustard, salt, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
- 04
Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours, until the vegetables are soft enough to be easily mashed with a fork.
- 05
Transfer the squash mixture to a blender, or use an immersion blender, and puree for 5 minutes, until there are no chunks and the sauce develops a creamy texture.
- 06
Pour the sauce over the macaroni and stir well.
- 07
Serve garnished with parsley.
