This is a fun and healthier version of mac & cheese. It uses pumpkin & coconut yoghurt for creaminess and nutritional yeast for that cheezy flavour! It’s so yummy and so easy to make, all you need in a pot and a little bit of patience. It makes a giant pot so it/s perfect for meal prepping or feeding friends/family.
Here is the recipe:
ONE-POT CREAMY PUMPKIN CHEESY PASTA
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
-
3 cups of dried pasta of choice
-
2 cups of broccoli, chopped
-
1 ½ cups of pumpkin puree
-
¼ cup nutritional yeast
-
¾ cup natural coconut yoghurt ( I used @purecocobella )
-
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
-
¼ cup water
-
2 tsp salt
-
1 tablespoon garlic paste
METHOD:
-
In a large pot, add in the dried pasta and broccoli. Cook according to packet instructions until the pasta is al dente. Drain and put the pasta and broccoli back in the pot.
-
Meanwhile, make the pumpkin sauce by blending the rest of the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
-
Pour the pumpkin over the pasta and gently fold it in.
-
Serve with an extra sprinkle of nutritional yeast!
Add this to your meals next week and you won’t regret! Enjoy 🙂
