Vegan Mac & "Cheese" with Cashew Cheese

Vegan mac and cheese is essentially the same thing as regular mac and cheese, but instead of cheese, I made Cashew and Squash sauce with nutritional yeast. That being said, it tastes like macaroni and cheese in my husband's options, it's way better than regular Mac & Cheese. The creamy, dreamy texture of this vegan cheese is so amazing. I know you are going to love it.
