Preparation

  1. Cut off both ends of the butternut squash and poke all over with a fork. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes.
  2. Peel the skin off of the squash. It should come right off! Slice the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and cut into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes. You should have about 5 cups (1 kg).
  3. In a slow cooker, combine the squash, onion, cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, rosemary, nutmeg, olive oil, mustard, salt, and vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours, until the vegetables are soft enough to be easily mashed with a fork.
  5. Transfer the squash mixture to a blender, or use an immersion blender, and puree for 5 minutes, until there are no chunks and the sauce develops a creamy texture.
  6. Pour the sauce over the cooked macaroni and stir well.
  7. Serve garnished with parsley.
  8. Enjoy!
