Vegan Mac&Cheese

I love Mac and Cheese!

I used to work at a supermarket and would always buy the mac and cheese ready meal for days when I would be too tired to cook once I’d get home. But since turning more plant-based I don’t buy that stuff (also they’re so bad for you).

So I have scoured the internet and practised a few I have found something that worked for me. Other recipes I would also recommend would HealthyChefStef and Niomi Smart’s recipes.

 

 

Ingredients;

 

• 2 tbsp Vegan butter/margarine alternative (I like the Pure brand)
• 4 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
• Salt
• Pepper
• Tumeric
• Thyme
• 2 tbsp Plain flour
• 500ml (ish) Non – Dairy Milk (nut milk would be prefered but I only had Oat)
• Vegan Cheese (Violife)
• Breadcrumbs
• Pasta

 

 

Like most of the recipes I share, this one is simple. I hate to think some people don’t turn vegan or vegetarian because they think it will be difficult or expensive because it really doesn’t have to be.

 

How to cook it…

 

• Cook your pasta
• On super low heat, so you don’t burn it, melt the butter and then add the flour to make a paste
• Add the milk a little bit at a time and make sure the paste dissolves
• Add the seasoning (salt, pepper, turmeric) and grate the cheese into the mixture, until it is cheesy enough for your liking
• Stir in the nutritional yeast and then leave it to the side
• Once the pasta is cooked and drained add the sauce
• Put into an oven dish top with bread crumbs, thyme, and some extra cheese for luck!
• Pop into the oven for about 25 mins, check to make sure it doesn’t catch on the top
• And Enjoy!

 

This tasted so good and was just the comfort food I needed. I felt just like a child again.

Let me know how your attempts go…
