Ingredients
- 4 cups pumpkin peeled and cubed (around ½ large pumpkin)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups pasta any variety
- 1 cup raw cashews
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tsp Miso paste
- 1 tsp paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F, and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut the pumpkin in half just beside the stem, then remove the seeds and cut it in half once again. You can now peel it using a vegetable peeler, and proceed to cut into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Arrange the pumpkin cubes on the baking tray and drizzle with a little bit of olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, until fully cooked through and fork-tender.
- About 5 minutes before the pumpkin is ready, start cooking the pasta according to instructions on packaging.
- To a blender, add the roasted pumpkin, cashews, nutritional yeast, maple syrup, mustard, miso paste, paprika, cumin, lemon juice and plant based milk. Blend until smooth.
- Mix together with the pasta, stirring in a large pan over a medium-high heat for a couple of minutes to warm through.
