Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • cups unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • ¼ cup raw cashews preferably soaked
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • teaspoons kosher or fine sea salt , plus more for the pasta water

Instructions

  • Add the pumpkin puree, almond milk, nutritional yeast, cashews, garlic, salt, and onion powder to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni until al dente, about 7 minutes. Strain and add the macaroni back to the pot.
