I know vegan macaroni & cheese might sound weird, but please give this a try and let me know what you think in the comments below.Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe ever crave mac & cheese but don’t want to make a giant tray? then this vegan mac & cheese for one is for you! all the flavor, topped with crispy breadcrumbs and perfect for the holidays or cold nights. Kyle and I like to eat ours with a bit of hot sauce dabbled on top.
Finally, stir the sauce into the pasta until it's coated with cheesy cashew sauce.
Put the pasta in a large bowl and dump the cashew cheese sauce on top. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency. Once the cashews have soaked, add them to the blender along with the rest of the ingredients (except the pasta). During this time, cook the pasta according to package directions. Soak the cashews in just boiled water for 15-30 minutes. I played around with it for a bit and tried adding more ingredients or baking in the oven, but none of those attempts are good as this. Anyway, I never liked cashews when I was younger, but when you transform them into a creamy sauce or dressing, they taste totally different, in the best way possible! Comment if you can find the awkward smily face 🙂 The How-To My mom always encouraged me to eat the nuts in the trail mix, and while my Dad encouraged me as well, he would buy an extra bag of M&M’s to add to the trail mix to make it more fun.
I think I also tried to sneak them into my younger sister’s bag of trail mix because she only ate the M&M’s anyway. I always picked out as many cashews as I could to give to my Mom or Dad to eat. Cashews remind me of trail mix, which reminds me of road trips with my family (trail mix was a MUST). Well, say goodbye to that feeling with this vegan macaroni & cheese recipe! Kyle (my partner who is 100% vegan) use to love mac and cheese, so I’ve been playing around with this simple vegan version and even I, an avid cheese lover enjoy this meal.Īs I’ve mentioned in previous posts, cashews are truly amazing! They replicate a creamy texture and taste when blended which is why they are perfect for vegan macaroni and cheese. I mean who doesn’t love carby-cheesy-goodness in every bite! When I do have mac and cheese, I often feel heavy, sleepy and sluggish afterwards. I know macaroni & cheese is one of the greatest creations. But I do at least try to moderate how much cheese I eat. For many people the biggest challenge of eating more plant-based foods is trying to avoid cheese! I for one absolutely love cheese. Vegan macaroni & cheese? Don’t knock it until you try it.
