      Add some butternut squash to your coke and it becomes more nutritious. Also, makes an 8-ball go alot further.

    i remember making butternut gnocchi and was shocked at how "meaty" it tastes. not like you could fool it for meat but its very savory with the right spices

    • @PandaFiskify
      @PandaFiskify Před 6 lety +124

      He should've cooked the butternut squash with garlic, onion, stock, a bit of milk and spices and then put the mix into a blender. After that's done he could add cheese into the butternut squash sauce with some cooked pasta. I've made mac'n'cheese this way sooo many times because I can't have too much cheese and it's reaallly good!

      You can try a makeshift cheese sauce. Boil some potatoes and carrots, blend them together with some milk, add a bit of garlic. Boom! Vegan cheese sauce that is utterly divine

    Recommend butternut squash fried rice
    microwave the squash till soften
    add it to egg fried rice base + peas + leftover chicken or ham ( recommend ketchup or saratcha )

    • @NoName-jp2sb

    I almost clicked off after the sad looking Mac and cheese but I stayed and the meatloaf and pot pie look genuinely good. 6.6/10 video. maybe make a cheese sauce with squash cheese and cream instead of just throwing it all in...

    @oggyreidmore Před 3 lety +1

    1 box of elbow noodles ($0.89). 1 can of Rico's Premium Aged Cheddar Cheese Sauce (1.98). Boil noodles. Drain. Add contents of can to noodles. Stir to combine. Makes 3 big servings of acceptable mac and cheese for $0.95, or 4 decent servings for $0.72. Ingredients are shelf stable for years and widely available any time of year - unlike butternut squash. I find mine at a corner store with no produce section next to the condoms, motor oil, and scratch off lottery ticket kiosk.

      Right thats the comfort part. The goowey cheese. That was sad dry macaroni. Id rather just eat the noodles with a littlw butter.

    • @madtownjeremy
      @madtownjeremy Před 5 lety +5

      Maybe he was skimping on the cheese for lack of time? If you watch his other mac and cheese videos he adds an absolute TON.

    • @julieannanderson2228
      @julieannanderson2228 Před 5 lety +8

    Dice the squash add evoo salt pepper and garlic. Roast in hot oven until golden and cooked through. Mix up meatless egg frittata with whatever leftover veggies on hand. Have cheese? Use it .. or not. Hot sauce sure that is a great add in.. bake until set up. Yummy

    For the mac n cheese I would cook the squash then blend with cream then simmer with cheese. It's extra steps but would make a more traditional looking and tasting mac n cheese. (I use to do something similar for a vegan mac n cheese)
