Creamy Dairy-Free Mac & Cheese
The secret here is soaked cashews and nutritional yeast, which perfectly mimic the creamy, cheesy texture of standard cheddar.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) pasta of choice
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for 30 mins, then drained)
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
Boil the pasta in salted water according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, plant milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, and salt.
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour the sauce over the warm pasta and stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles.
