- In a high-speed blender, combine the cooked vegetables, La Raclette Vegan, La Cooking, nutmeg, and salt.

- Garnish with additional pepper if desired.

Perfect combination
The combination of La Cooking and La Raclette Vegan brings the perfect balance of creamy and cheesy for this mac’n’cheese.
I love that this recipe is easy to prepare and even contains hidden veggies - pumpkin is queen!
