Cheesy Broccoli Sauce over Roasted Red Potatoes [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

This cheese sauce is still a work-in-process. Despite what everyone says, nutritional yeast does not taste "cheesy" to me ... it just tastes "yeasty." I started with a recipe from The Vegiterranean Diet by Hever, decreased some ingredients, added others, and this is what I ended up with. Not bad ... but not really "cheesy."

CHEESY BROCCOLI SAUCE OVER ROASTED RED POTATOES

1 cup butternut squash puree
1/2 cup plant-based milk
1/2 cup soaked cashews
1/2 cup cooked white beans
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp tamari
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp faux chicken bouillon powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt-free seasoning
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1-2 drops liquid smoke (optional)

Process all ingredients until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if needed. Adjust seasonings to taste. Toss with steamed broccoli florets and serve over roasted potatoes.
