This creamy, Vegan Pumpkin Mac and Cheese loaded with Broccoli is a super flavorful yet healthy twist on the classic. Made with nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor, this is not only lighter than your average version, but also packed with extra vitamins. A total win!
Sauce:
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in pot, add pasta, and cook for about 10 minutes (according to package instructions). Drain, return to pan, and cover to keep warm.
While pasta cooks, place broccoli in a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Heat oil in a small skillet on medium heat and sauteé garlic for about 30 seconds.
Blend sauteéd garlic and remaining sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until creamy and smooth, about 10 sec.
Optional: Transfer sauce to skillet and heat until slightly bubbly and thickened, about 1 minute.
Combine pasta, broccoli and sauce, toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with pine nuts and parsley and serve!
