One thing I love about Fall is how cozy it is. I cannot be the only one who thinks this, right? The weather is dreamy, the colours of the leaves are warming, you get to dress in oversized clothing (it is now officially okay to walk around with ponchos and capes – aka on the go blankets), the air is crisp, and aaalll the warm comfort foods make their way onto the dinner table. Today I bring you the deliciousness of Fall in a bowl … No Bake Pumpkin Mac and No-Cheese.

I am one of those weirdos that never really loved mac and cheese, most likely due to the fact that I spent majority of my life allergic to lactose, but definitely enjoyed a nice bowl of KD here and there. The good thing about this recipe is that it is lactose free but still holds all the deliciousness that a cheesy bowl of mac would give – with more nutrition and less bloating.

Print No Bake Pumpkin Mac and No-Cheese Ingredients 1 can pure pumpkin

2 garlic cloves chopped

1 onion chopped

3/4 cup nutritional yeast

1 pinch turmeric

1 tsp mustard

1 cup cashew milk

2 tbsp butter

1 cup vegetable broth

salt and pepper to taste

cooked macaroni noodles Optional 1 tomato diced

franks hot sauce

garlic salt

paprika Instructions Prepare noodles according to instructions on bag in boiling water. Blend together pure pumpkin, garlic cloves, onion, nutritional yeast, mustard, turmeric, and 1/2 cup cashew milk until smooth. Pour blended sauce into medium-heated skillet. Add in 1/2 cup of cashew milk and 2 tbsp vegan butter. Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Slowly add in broth 1/4 cup at a time. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally. You may choose to only use half of the broth depending on the consistency you prefer. Remove sauce from heat and pour over cooked and drained macaroni noodles. If you are using hot sauce, tomato, or garlic powder you can add that in at this point. Sprinkle with paprika and enjoy!

There you have it, a creamy bowl of No Bake Pumpkin Mac and No-Cheese for a beautiful fall day.

I was able to freeze just about half of the sauce to use at a later date – woo hoo!

ENJOY & HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!
