Squash Macaroni and Cheese

MACARONI AND SQUASH
-one yellow onion
-one butternut squash sliced into cubes (peeled or not peeled... you're going to food process it)
-one box of pasta (elbow-like)
-1/2 c. raw walnut pieces
-coconut milk-- 1 can
-some T.V.P. reconstituted with vegetable broth (probably about a cup dry + a cup of veg broth)
-bread crumbs
-salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne, sri rocha, sage, basil-- whatever seasonings you have around-- to taste


1. saute the onions and cube the squash in about 1 inch cubes. you can peel it 1st if you want, but i didn't because you are going to food process it anyways
2. dump the onions, squash, and coconut milk in a pot and simmer it for about 20 minutes. add all the seasonings.
3. food process that
4. mix in the walnut bits and the tvp. stir in the cooked pasta
5. pour into a baking dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs
6. cook it at 350 for like 20-30 til it's all brown

This was inspired/adapted from the butternut squash and macaroni casserole from the Whole Foods iPhone app, with some very subtle changes (like food processing it and adding the TVP).
