Vegan Mac n Cheese
Updated: Feb 27, 2019
This recipe was created to gratify my wife when she misses her childhood home cooked Maryland style Mac n Cheese. It is full, creamy and cheesy and is sure to satisfy home sickness or just curious taste buds.
Let's get to work:
500 gram dry pasta
For the sauce:
220 gram grounded cashews
5 tbsp nutrional yeast
350 ml coconut milk
1 1/2 leeks
1 1/2 tsp mustard
200 ml peanut milk (or any other vegetable milk, second best would be oat)
5 garlic cloves
juice from one lemon
100 ml water
1 tsp old bay spice
1/2 tsp cayan pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste
On top:
Vegan grated cheese
bread crumbs
Directions:
Prepare the pasta al dente.
Mix the grounded cashews with the nutiritional yeast and coconut milk.
Chop the leeks and garlic cloves and fry them until they are transparent. Add the lemon juice togther with all the spices and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the cashew mix and all other sauce ingredients and bring to a boil for about 10 minutes.
In a baking pan mix the sauce with the pasta.
Spread the grated cheese, bread crumbs and some more old bay spice on top and bake on 220 Degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
