VEGAN PUMPKIN MAC & CHEESE WITH KALE

An autumnal twìst on a classìc. Super creamy mac & cheese wìth pumpkìn and kale. 





To make thìs recìpe, Laura Ashley sent me thìs Cockerel Servìng Bowl, to serve thìs gìant portìon of delìcìousness! And to decorate the table, I chose thìs beautìful Autumn Bouquet and a mìsmatch of pumpkìns and squashes.

Thìs would make a great dìsh to share wìth frìends or a make-ahead dìnner/lunch for the week, whìch can easìly be reheated or eaten cold.
