Incredibly creamy pumpkin pasta (that’s also super cheesy!) you can prepare under 15 minutes.

It’s amazing how well pumpkin performs in this dish – it makes everything nice and creamy, and somehow doesn’t taste like pumpkin…at all.

Ingredients

1/2 cup cashews (soaked in hot water for 30 minutes)
2 cups pumpkin puree
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 cups soy milk
2 tablespoons vegan butter (or olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups cooked pasta
Chili flakes, to garnish

Instructions

In a blender, add soaked (and drained) cashews + pumpkin puree + garlic + salt + pepper + paprika + maple syrup + nutritional yeast + soy milk. Blend well until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Set a large pan over medium heat. Add vegan butter. Once it's hot, add dried rosemary and saute for 10 seconds. Then add all-purpose flour and mix-cook for 2 minutes, or until the lumps are gone.
Stirring continuously, add the blended cashew-pumpkin mixture (in small portions). Mix well.
Continue stirring and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Turn down the heat to low-medium and keep simmering for 2 minutes. Once it's thickened, add the cooked pasta and coat well.
Creamy pumpkin pasta is ready. Garnish with chili flakes and serve hot.
