Vegan Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe was developed at its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.

Original recipe (1X) yields 3 servings:

• 8 ounces penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• cup oat milk
• 8 ounces pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 5 ounces shredded vegan Cheddar-style cheese, divided (such as Daiya)

Directions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.

Step 2: In the same pot, combine the flour and olive oil. Mix them together until a smooth paste is formed.

Step 3: Gradually add the oat milk to the paste, stirring to combine. Then, incorporate the pumpkin puree and whisk until everything is well blended.

Step 4: Add the garlic salt and 4 ounces of the shredded vegan cheese. Stir the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Step 6: Spoon the pasta mixture into 3 individual oval gratin casserole dishes, dividing it evenly. Top each with the remaining shredded vegan cheese.

Step 7: Broil the dishes in the preheated oven for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 8: Serve the dish warm and enjoy!

Cook's Note:

If you prefer, you can mix all of the shredded vegan cheese into the pasta mixture and skip the broiling step altogether.
