Squash and Spinach Mac-Casserole (Vegan)
x
Print Options
Description
Aside from adding color to the casserole, the squash adds a sweetness to this dish, as well as a creaminess, and when combined with the nutritional yeast makes for a ‘cheesy’ mac flavor. The spinach adds nutritional benefits, but you can use any of your favorite vegetables, such as broccoli, or bell peppers (or just omit additional vegetables). This is that ‘down-home’ casserole that will curl up your toes with comfort.
Ingredients
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- 1 whole Acorn Squash (cooked, About 2 Cups)
- 2 cups Milk Alternative
- 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Powder (or Thickener)
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- ¾ cups Nutritional Yeast Flakes
- ¾ teaspoons Dried Italian Herbs
- ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- Pepper To Taste
- _____
- FOR THE CASSEROLE:
- 4 cups Pasta (I Like Spiral)
- 2 cups Spinach
Preparation
Blend all of the sauce ingredients together until smooth. Set aside.
Cook pasta until al dente (about 8 minutes). Drain the water, and add spinach to the pasta, folding to combine. Pour the sauce mixture over the pasta and spinach, combine, and cover the pot until the spinach has cooked. Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 13 dish. Bake in a 350ºF oven for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened, and it is nice and bubbly. Let stand for about 5 minutes. Serve with ketchup, if desired. Enjoy!
Note: I have also sprinkled this with ground walnuts (as a bread crumb alternative) prior to baking, for crunchy goodness.

This sounds really interesting! We aren’t vegan (or even vegetarian), but I’m always looking for cool ‘trick’ recipes, like a squash & almond milk ‘cream’ sauce! I think I’ll make it for my husband without telling him it’s vegan and see what he thinks…
