Pumpkin Macaroni Cheese

Method

• Add the pumpkin, onions, vegetable stock, garlic, mustard, nutmeg, and black pepper to a large pan.

• Place the pan over medium heat, cover, and cook gently for around thirty minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender.

• Set the pan aside to cool a little and bring a fresh pan of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the macaroni to the water and cook according to the pasta’s instructions.

• Meanwhile, add the pumpkin mix to a blender and blend until smooth.

• Once cooked, drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the pumpkin sauce and mix well to coat the macaroni fully.

• Return the pan to medium heat, add the cornflour paste and stir to thicken.

• Remove from the heat, stir in the nutritional yeast, season with extra black pepper if desired, and serve with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
