Vegan Mac And Cheese (Healthier Version)

5/3/2020

1 Comment

 
Okay so I now have two vegan mac and cheese recipes on my website. This one is more nutritious because of the pureed veggie ingredient + the nutritional yeast factor but it still remains nut free just like the other one! A creamy vegan mac and cheese recipe without cashews?? YEP. It might not be as beautiful as my other recipe but it's really good, better for you and WAY easier to make. If you're looking for my other recipe with actual vegan cheese in it, tap this link! Both are super good despite the fact that there's no dairy in either of them!

I also love how flex this recipe is. You could sub out the potato puree that I used for a number of things like butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots or cauliflower puree. As long as you turn whatever veggie you use soft enough via steaming or boiling to make sure that they completely blend into the sauce! I honestly considered adding some baby food to my next grocery list so I don't have to puree whatever veggies I plan to add in, LOL. 

I prefer to use potato because of the starch content in it - when using less starchy vegetables like BNS I add in a teaspoon of arrowroot starch to help it thicken better. (Also, be careful if you use frozen veggies because they have a bit more water content then fresh veggies do.)

This recipe makes enough for two but it can easily be cut in half for a personal version! I like making it for myself and saving half of it for another day.

What you need:
  • 1/2 lb pasta (I used brown rice pasta)
  • 3 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup oat creamer (I used nut pods)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp celtic sea salt
  • 1/2 cup pureed potato or butternut squash (or other similar veg - see suggestions above.)
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch if needed. (See note above.)
What to do:
  1. Peel and cut a decent sized russet potato into cubes (1 potato will give you what you need for 1/2 cup potato puree) and boil in water for 10 minutes or until you can easily cut through it. Cook the pasta at the same time. 
  2. Blend everything together in a food processor until smooth and creamy before pouring it over the finished pasta.
