How to Prepare Cheesy Butternut Squash Alfredo [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 390°F.
Peel the butternut squash and cut it into smaller pieces. Place butternut squash and garlic on a baking sheet with baking paper and add one tablespoon coconut oil. Put in the oven for a couple of minutes for the coconut oil to melt and give it a stir. Bake for 15 minutes (or longer depending on the size of the butternut squash pieces).
Place garlic, butternut squash, beans, almond milk, and nutritional yeast in a blender and blend on high until completely creamy. You might have to add a bit more almond milk or water depending on how thick you want the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
For the kale, melt the coconut oil in a big pan and fry the kale lightly just until it collapses. Add the pasta and sauce and stir thoroughly. Cook for 5 minutes just until it’s warm.
Serve immediately.
