Elevate pasta night with a simple vegan pumpkin pasta bake topped with crispy breadcrumbs for a deliciously comforting meal.
Ingredients:
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 900g butternut pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, cut into 2.5cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1L (4 cups) Stock Vegetable Style
  • 350g dried penne pasta
  • 6 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 500ml (2 cups) Loco Dairy Free Thickened Creamy
  • 40.00 ml nutritional yeast
  • 50g (2/3 cup) panko breadcrumbs
  • 60g baby spinach
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 5cm-deep, 25 x 35cm flameproof roasting pan over medium-high heat. Sear the pumpkin until golden, then add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then add the pasta and thyme, removing from heat.
  • Seal the pan with foil and bake until the pasta is perfectly tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Uncover the dish, then mix in the cream and nutritional yeast until fully incorporated. Bake without a cover for 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • In a bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and the remaining oil.
  • Combine the spinach with the pasta, stirring well. Top with breadcrumb mixture and bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes until golden. Season to taste and serve.
