INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the onion and mushrooms

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Add sliced onion, mushrooms, thyme, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a baking dish and toss. Roast the onion and mushrooms until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. TIP: If you’re making the 4-serving meal, you may need to roast the mushrooms on a separate baking sheet and add back to the baking dish in step 4.

2
Make the sauce

Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, miso paste, and a pinch of salt and pepper and stir. Cook until onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add flour and stir. Add almond milk and tomato powder, whisk, and bring sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 2 to 4 minutes.

3
Cook the pasta

Add pasta to the boiling water, stir, and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the pasta with cool water to stop the cooking process and return to the large pot, off heat.

4
Finish the sauce

Add sauce, cheddar, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a blender. Blend cheese sauce until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

5
Make the pepita parmesan

Add pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, and a pinch of salt to a small bowl and mix the pepita parmesan.

6
Finish and serve

Add cheese sauce to the pot with the pasta and stir. Transfer pasta to the baking dish with thyme roasted mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Sprinkle with pepita parmesan and bake until hot and bubbling, 7 to 10 minutes. Divide the mac n’ cheese between large plates. Tuck in!
