Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 quarts water
1 tablespoon sea salt
8 ounces macaroni
4 slices bread, torn into large pieces
2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine
1/3 cup non-hydrogenated margarine
2 tablespoons shallots, peeled and chopped
1 cup potato, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup carrot, peeled and chopped
1/3 cup onion, peeled and chopped
1 cup water
1/4 cup raw cashews
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring the water and salt to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until al dente. In a colander, drain pasta and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, add shallots, potatoes, carrots, onion, and water, and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are very soft.
  • In a blender, process the cashews, salt, garlic, 1/3 cup margarine, mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, and cayenne. Add softened vegetables and cooking water to the blender and process until perfectly smooth.
  • In a food processor, make breadcrumbs by pulverizing the bread and 2 tablespoons margarine to a medium-fine texture. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta and blended cheese sauce until completely coated. Spread mixture into a 9 x 13 casserole dish, sprinkle with prepared breadcrumbs, and dust with paprika.
  • Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the cheese sauce is bubbling and the top has turned golden brown.

This vegan mac and cheese is a game-changer! It's so creamy and cheesy, I couldn't believe it was dairy-free. I'll definitely be making this again and again.
