Classic Mac N Cheese

---

Clearly I take my Mac N Cheese pretty seriously considering I now have 3 recipes which may seem unnecessary. However I beg to differ. I love all 3 of my children equally in different ways.

Sometimes I am craving a Buffalo Mac N Cheese. Other times I am really craving this Hidden Veggie Mac.

Classic Mac N Cheese

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup - cashews, soaked

2 tbsp - chopped garlic

1/4 cup - fresh lemon juice

4 tbsp - nutritional yeast

½ tsp - onion powder

½ tsp - garlic powder

1/4 tsp - smoked paprika

1/2 cup - veg stock

11/2 cup - canned coconut milk

1/4 cup - tapioca starch slurry, mix 1/4 cup cold water with 1 tbsp tapioca starch

Instructions

Step 1

First things first gather your mise en place. Wash and prep your veg and then soak or boil your cashews. This will make it so much easier. Once everything is ready, throw all your ingredients in a vitamix or little bullet blender. At the end blend in your slurry while the mixture is still hot so it can all emulsify and thicken.

Step 2

This recipe makes enough to make a big pot of mac n cheese and still have lots of sauce left over that you can save for later recipes or you can cut this recipe in half if you want to prepare less.

Step 3

Boil your shell shaped pasta and mix with a little vegan butter for some extra love.
