8 oz Dry Pasta of choice (I like brown rice), cooked in salted water
Sauce ingrediets
1 C Cashew Goat cheese
4 oz roasted red pepper (around 1/2 cup) or pimentos
1 c cooked white beans
pinch nutmeg
1/4 c nutritional yeast
2 t dijon
1 cup pasta cooking water
Salt/Pepper to taste
Chipotle Powder or Smoked Paprika for garnish
Blend the sauce ingredients together and heat on stove with the cooked macaroni. Save leftover sauce for other uses.
See how easy that is?
I'm making a big batch of my New Year's Day Black Eyed Peas in honor of Mardi Gras! I'll be subbing red beans for the peas which I pressure cooked already. I am really loooking forward to a big bowl of this spicy goodness!
Breakfast this morning was oatmeal that I cooked with cinnamon, apples, stevia and white beans pureed with water for the cooking liquid. I love adding beans to my oatmeal for a nutritional boost! Check out my Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal recipe for instructions on how I do this!

ReplyDeleteI've actually never made mac 'n' cheese, vegan or not. It's not as common a dish here in Australia! I think I might have to put this recipe near the top of my 'to-make' list to rectify matters :)
ReplyDeleteWow... it looks so creamy and delicious!
