Sometimes, you just can’t wait any longer, you know?Īfter reading the comments I thought it was a bit too good to be true so i spent an hour scrolling through more comments to find that one comment saying this recipe wasnt all that its cracked up to be (which i did find) so I could mentally prepare myself for when all hell broke lose. Okay, I’ll lay aside my strong animal-like urge to devour and take a moment to sprinkle paprika and parsley on the top.Īnd that, my friends, is as far as got with photographing this bowl of yumminess before I starting eating it. Who knew that potatoes, carrots, onion, cashews, coconut milk, and seasonings could make such a fabulous creamy combination? And that, when mixed with macaroni, that crazy combination will make your taste buds leap for joy?Ĭan I just eat it out of the pan like a bachelor? So, today I bring you my crazily adapted recipe and what has become my favorite vegan mac and cheese–with no refined oil. And then, I had to add a few more items, because y’all know that’s my nature. I just had to replace it with something else.

I use plenty of vegan margarine in cakes and desserts, when I eat them, but for mac and cheese? For Little M? The original recipe calls for over 1/3 cup of vegan margarine. Call it “cheese.” Just give your non-veg friends a fair warning, mkay?Ī few weeks ago, I discovered this recipe for vegan macaroni and cheese which was described by VegNews to be the “best on the planet.” I knew I had to give it a try, but that I couldn’t exactly follow the recipe (because, as you probably know by now, I don’t follow recipes). Therefore, may I introduce you to not-real-cheese-but-still-delicious-creamy-yellow-sauce-over-macaroni? Like, how can this stuff be described except to call it a cheese alternative? We all know that, in reality, not a single one of the veg “cheese” alternatives out there tastes like real cheese. I always feel bad when a non-vegan tastes vegan “cheese” for the first time.

Instead, it’s a creamy, flavorful alternative to the dairy stuff that will leave you richly satisfied in your decision to leave the cows alone.

Serve it warm with pepper, paprika and fresh parsley on it.No, it isn’t cheese…even though it kind of looks like it.

Otherwise you can put your mac'n'cheese in a casserole dish, sprinkle it with breadcrumbs and roast it in your oven for another ten minutes until those crumbs are golden brown.

You can either eat it right now, just give it additional two minutes in a pan, until the pasta is al dente.

Tasty? Tasty! Pour the cheese sauce on your noodles.

For anyone who doesn't think it's cheesy enough: Just add some more nutritional yeast.

For anyone who doesn't think it's creamy enough: Just add a little more water or soy cream.

Now season your cheese sauce with salt and pepper, but also try a pinch of garlic powder, cayenne and paprika.

Turn on the processor and keep looking at it fascinated as it will transform into a wonderful, creamy, yellow lot. Add cashews, soy cream, miso paste, nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Toss the vegetable in a processor together with 200 ml of your kept water.

As soon as that happens, drain the vegetable but keep the water.

They are perfect, if you can prick in a fork and they are soft enough to get smashed. Peel and cut the potatoes, carrot and onion in equal sized pieces, so they will cook in the same time.

Cook your pasta according to instructions until they are slightly before al dente.

The best would be to soak them over night, but if you have the munchies for mac'n'cheese, it'll work to soak those cashews in warm water for at least 30 minutes.

Before the games can even begin: Let your cashews soak in water.
