Savory 'N Cheesy Squash Pie

There are easy side dishes that can just complete a meal. This is one that can also become an easy lunch or dinner with the right salad. You can also add to it a meat substitute on the side (you will find several good options in past posts of this blog.)

1 Medium Butternut squash
1/4 Block tofu, drained
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Cup raw cashews
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt to taste
1 Tsp. sweet paprika powder
1 Tsp. garlic powder
2 Tsp. onion powder

Pimento cheese or soy cheese

Peel raw squash and cube it. Put cubed squash in blen der or food processor together with
cashews, tofu and 3/4 cup water. Blend till smooth. Scrape into a bowl. Mix in all the other
ingredients, except the cheese. Incorporate well, making sure you have a smooth mixture,
without any lumps. Grease a baking dish and put half of the mixture into the dish, cover with
pimento cheese or with soy cheese, top with the rest of the squash mixture.
Bake at 350º F for about 45 minutes or until it is golden.
