Ingredients

CHEDDAR SAUCE
1 cup raw cashews, sunflower seeds, or almonds
1/2 large red bell pepper
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon tahini
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder (or a small slice of onion or 1 tablespoon green onion)
ASSEMBLY
1 butternut squash (spiralized and cut into 1 to 2 inch lengths)
Little drizzle of olive oil (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper

Recipe Directions

1. Spiralize your squash so that it resembles those 1-2 inch small diameter pasta tubes. You could also grate it, if making it by hand.

2. Drizzle a little olive oil on it and toss.

3. Make the cheddar sauce. I make it slightly thicker, either by using less water, more yeast, or a combination.

4. Drench the squash in the cheddar sauce. Use as much of the batch as necessary. You may or may not use it all.

4. Mix. Add freshly ground pepper to taste. 

Daniefon's Thoughts

It’s kind of funny. I wasn’t a junk food eater before I went raw, but seem to like these raw imitations!

This one has that nice sticky mac and cheese feel; however, the squash gives it a little crunch. I guess you could wilt it a bit in the dehydrator to get a softer texture. 

This is pretty rich, so I eat it as a side dish.

The cheeze sauce is not my recipe. It is from this site, and it’s great!

I've had the cheddar sauce before, on zucchini noodles, and i dehydrated it in a Pyrex dish and the top of the noodles gets kinda "cooked" tasting :) Yum! I'm going to try this next time with the Butternut - i always see butternut squash and i never know what to do with it :)

Not bad.. I tried this last night.. I'm new to raw foods and I'm not quite a big fan of the nut sauces but this tasted pretty good.
