One of the things I thought I’d miss when I transitioned to vegan was mac and cheese. And although I enjoyed the different alternatives made with cashews or vegetables, I wanted something more “cheesy”. So I just swapped the dairy products with their vegan versions. I used vegan cheese from Asda, plant milk and vegan butter and it came out super cheesy and creamy. And if I have leftovers, I will make a vg burger and top it off the mac n cheese.
Ingredients
300g macaroni
1 tbsp vegan butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups unsweetened plant milk (I used oat)
2 ½ cups vegan cheese (I used Grated Cheddar Alternative from Asda Free from)
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp whole mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp bbq seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ turmeric (for colour)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Boil pasta
2. Melt butter in a pan. Add one tablespoon of flour at a time and then cook for one minute
3. Add plant milk slowly and mix together. Bring to a simmer
4. Add vegan cheese and stir until melted
5. Stir in whole mustard and all other seasonings
6. Add the macaroni to the cheese sauce and combine
7. Enjoy
