Notes
- Pumpkin: Choose a variety known for its rich flavor and creamy texture, like Hokkaido, butternut squash, or sugar pie pumpkins. You don’t have to peel Hokkaido but peel any other sort.
- Vegetable broth made using stock cubes is perfectly fine. Evaporated milk makes the sauce lighter. However, you can replace it with a single or heavy cream.
- Vegetarian sauce: Use vegetarian hard cheese (Parmesan is not vegetarian as it is made with animal rennet).
- Vegan sauce: Replace the milk with canned coconut milk or other plant-based milk (soy, oat, or almond milk, for instance). Replace the cheese with nutritional yeast to taste.
