Easy Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese

Recipe:

Base:

3 cups of quinoa penne is in the photos, but you could use whatever you want.

Sauce:
3 cups cubed butternut squash, baked until soft
1/2 onion
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup cashews
1/2 avocado
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon coriander
3 dates (or 1 teaspoon liquid sweetener)

Salt & pepper, to taste
Water, as needed

Prepare your base: cook your noodles, rice, or whatever... or slice a zucchini into zucchini noodles!

To make the sauce: blend everything until smooth and creamy. Mix into your noodles or rice or whatever base you want and nom it up! Oh... this would probably be amazing if you baked it in a bowl with Daiya vegan cheese shreds over top. Mmm.
