    I always try to sneak some veggies into my mac n’ cheese too – it lessens the guilt factor! Love your additions of walnuts and nutritional yeast – very healthy mac n’ cheese indeed! Congrats on the one year anniversary!

    This looks wonderful. Love that it uses both real cheese & nutritional yeast. The flavor must be amazing.

    We’d be very honored if you would share this with our fans and submit to Healthy Aperture.

    I literally just took a squash and pasta bake out of the oven, no broccoli, I added in a leek and no cheese on top…also the photos are no were near as incredible as yours! :)

    This looks SO good!! I’m definitely going to add to the dinner menu next week. I’m so glad I happened across your site – I think I made my way from Pinterest of all places!! Someone pinned a photo and I came back to get the recipe. I just made the detox cauliflower salad, and it was delicious in a very different kind of way, lol! Thank you for sharing these recipes and gorgeous photos!! As a photog myself, I’d love to know what gear you use :)

    That looks so delicious :D I’ve been a bit nervous to try a nutritional yeast mac and cheese, but I’m so curious about it. It really does look good, especially with squash and then covered in real cheese. I think I need to give it a try pretty soon, maybe I’ll just try half a recipe at first or something :)

    I wonder if I can sneak this one by my husband and son–might give it a try! Looks delicious as always! I laughed when I read the bit about ts rejecting your photos (you were totally robbed by the way!) because they have rejected more of mine than accepted by at least two thirds. It does push me to be a better photographer and stylist which I appreciate, but it still stings (a lot!) every time they reject me! I realized after the fact that when I commented on the cake I never said what I would buy if I won the card–duh….COOKBOOKS! Like I need more but I can’t help myself–it’s a sickness with me! But there are worse vices than that I guess! ha ha!

    Ummm we ARE twins!!! I made a baked squash n pasta dish several days ago and haven’t gotten around to posting or uploading the photos and recipe yet!! WE MUST HAVE THE SAME CRAVINGS! Crazy huh? You recipe is a little different that mine but it’s still pretty similar!!! You’ll see and compare ingredient when I post :) Toooo funny!

    I totally feel ya one being disappointed when you are turned down for foodgawker, tastespotting etc on recipes that you are proud of!!! The cake photos should NOT have been rejected – total mistake on their part!

    That looks so wonderfully delicious and a nice, hearty winter meal. I love how it incorporates (more) veggies into a mac n’ cheese. Also, your individual ramekins are a nice touch!

    We just finished dinner. And all I have to say is THANNNNK YOUUUUUU. The Squashy Mac n Cheese was INCREDIBLE and CREAMY and CRUNCHY and I just can’t say enough good things about this recipe!. My son who DOES NOT eat a thing just ate an entire bowl. He still doesn’t know that he ate walnuts or butternut squash….and I only added one thing…. I had some extra Ciabatta bread left over from lunch ( and I’ll get to THAT in my next comment) so I ended up grinding the walnuts with the bread and my entire family just thought it was a crunchy bread topping! I just can’t rave enough about this recipe! Thanks again!

    You post so often I can’t keep up! TS is just silly sometimes. They’ve rejected submissions that FS didn’t, which went on to be on their “most popular” page. And those birthday cake pictures of yours were beautiful (happy anniversary!). It’s just stupid and maddening. Whenever I get rejected, I go and look at what was just approved. Often there will be a pretty bad picture on the first or second page and then I roll my eyes at TS and then feel better, knowing that their standards are whack. Seriously, on one of the pages right now, there are 4 pictures that I just can’t believe they approved. I don’t feel like my pictures are very good, but it’s still aggravating when they approve obviously horrible pictures.

    Hey Sonia, I’d really like to make this recipe later this week but I’m wondering if I can substitute the yeast for something else? As I’ve become a faithful follower of your recipes, I’ve been purchasing a lot of new and healthier ingredients, and it looks like my grocery budget has gotten its butt kicked…so just wondering if I can avoid the extra cost/time for searching for this new ingredient and substitue for something else.
    I don’t have any food allergies and I’m not vegan or anything, so I’m pretty open to any suggestions. It seems like this yeast just has a lot of nutritional benefits for people that can’t get them from other natural products.
