Creamy Vegan Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
- 1/2 head of cauliflower (3 cups)
- 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 1/4 yellow onion
- 1/4 cup water or plant milk (or more for desired thickness)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons white miso paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon turmeric (for color)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour (optional)
- 2 servings pasta, cooked
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 head broccoli, steamed
Preparation
Add cauliflower, cashews, and onion to a medium saucepan with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes until cauliflower is very soft.
Drain and add to a high-speed blender with the remaining ingredients except pasta, peas, and broccoli.
Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Season to taste.
Pour over prepared pasta in a saucepan and heat over low heat. Stir in peas.
Transfer to bowls and serve with steamed broccoli.
Tips
Drizzle with a little sriracha for extra flavor.
Nutritional yeast is different from active dry yeast and provides a cheesy flavor; ask if you have questions.
