Who doesn’t love a main dish that only dirties one pot and comes together in less than 30 minutes? This mac and cheese is super-rich thanks to cheddar cheese and Dijon mustard, but it also gives you a nice dose of vegetables thanks to the mashed-up butternut squash, which gives the dish an even creamier consistency. Plus, ground nutmeg will become an essential ingredient for every mac and cheese you make in the future. This version is a comforting, satisfying, delicious meatless dinner that everyone will love.
