Ingredients

  • 1/2 butternut squash
  • 1/2 cauliflower, chopped into large chunks
  • 1 onion, chopped into large chunks
  • 3 clove fresh garlic, whole
  • 1 Tbsp fresh sage, or 1 tsp dried (optional)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • pinch sea salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 4 oz whole grain pasta, about 3 cups dry

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spread the veggies out on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and salt, and toss with your hands to coat. Put the sheet in the oven, for 30-40 minutes, until the veggies are fork-tender.
  • Once fully cooked, puree the vegetables with just enough non-dairy milk to get a thick, smooth sauce. Add the nutritional yeast, sage (if using), salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you like.
  • Cook the pasta, boiling for 8-10 minutes until just cooked.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain, and toss with sauce. Return it to the heat for a minute or two if you used pre-cooked veggies from the fridge.

Notes

This is perfect served along with sauteed kale, chard, brussels sprouts, broccoli, or any other green veg.
