We have a guest in the kitchen! We’re so happy to welcome back Kelly of The Gouda Life. Today, she’s brought us a drool-worthy pie that is vegan friendly, but will certainly make everyone at the table hungry.
Recently, we had a dear friend return home after months of being on the road in Europe with his band. I wanted to make him something hearty and homey. Something to curb the chill in the air and that he may not have been able to get on the road. This cottage pie is vegan, as is our friend, and the mushrooms make it so meaty and rich. The sweetness of the squash make an amazing companion to the mushrooms and the smokey paprika warms the whole dish. If you’re not vegan, feel free to add real butter and even a little sprinkle of cheese in (and over) the mashed potato topping.
