VEGAN MAC AND CHEESE



Vegan Mac and Cheese image

The combination of soaked cashews and nutritional yeast creates a savory sauce for this vegan mac and cheese. The cashews don't blend up completely smooth, but will have a fine texture even after processing, which helps the sauce cling to the noodles. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup raw cashews
1 pound russet potatoes (about 3 medium), scrubbed and roughly chopped
3 ounces carrot (1 medium), scrubbed and roughly chopped
Salt
10 ounces elbow macaroni (about 2 ½ cups)
10 ounces poblano (or pasilla) peppers (2 medium)
1 medium jalapeño (optional)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast

Steps:

  • Add the cashews to a small bowl and cover with hot tap water to soak for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, combine the potatoes and carrot in a medium pot with 4 cups water, salt liberally, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the vegetables are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Reserve 1½ cups of the cooking liquid, then drain.
  • While the potatoes and carrots cook, bring 8 cups water in a medium pot to a boil over high. Salt liberally, add the elbow pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.
  • While the potatoes and pasta cook, char the chiles: Place the poblano chiles and jalapeño, if using, directly on the grate of a gas burner and turn the heat to high. Cook, using heatproof tongs to turn the chiles so they blister and blacken on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. Remove the stems and seeds and discard, then slice the chiles and set aside a few for garnish.
  • Working in batches if necessary, blend the potatoes, carrot, cashews, chiles, nutritional yeast and the reserved potato cooking water until smooth. Taste and season with salt. Add the sauce to the pasta and stir to coat. Turn the heat to low and let sit for about 5 minutes so the pasta absorbs some of the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with the reserved chiles.

THE BEST VEGAN MACARONI AND CHEESE EVER



The Best Vegan Macaroni and Cheese Ever image

I found this recipe over at vegweb.com but I am typing it up here so I can use the easy conversions and see the nutritional information. It received so many positive comments that I have to try it. One of the only complaints is that it can be very salty, so you might want to consider cutting back on the soy sauce or not adding additional salt.

Time 8m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups plain soymilk

2 teaspoons mustard (optional)

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Macaroni is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other short pastas like penne or rotini.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it.
  • Use a flavorful vegan cheese. There are many different vegan cheeses available on the market, so find one that you like the taste of.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to this dish.
  • Season the dish well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Macaroni and yeast is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Vegan macaroni and yeast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a vegan-friendly comfort food, give this recipe a try.
