VEGAN BAKED MAC AND CHEESE

If you have vegan dinner guests or are trying to cut back on the dairy, this mac 'n' cheese will satisfy your craving, I promise. The nutritional yeast gives it that "cheesy" flavor and the ground mustard makes it taste like my original recipe. Plus, the pureed butternut squash gives the sauce that iconic yellow hue.

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

One 16-ounce package large elbow pasta
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
One 12-ounce package frozen butternut squash purée, thawed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup dairy-free Parmesan
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cashews with enough boiling water to cover in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, garlic powder, ground mustard and 1 1/2 cups water in a high-powered blender. Blend until very smooth, adding more water if necessary to reach the desired consistency. Stir in the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir together the cooked pasta and sauce in a lightly greased 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stir together the panko, Parmesan and olive oil in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the pasta. Bake until the pasta is bubbly and the topping is browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

VEGAN BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE



Vegan Baked Macaroni and Cheese image

This is a delicious baked pasta recipe that both my husband (who can eat cow's milk) and I (who can't) enjoy very much. As you make this, keep in mind that, while it's similar in appearance to mac and cheese, it's fairly different in taste and texture. I don't think there's any way to replicate the creamy mouthfeel and stretch of dairy cheese. However, this is the closest-to-dairy homemade non-dairy mac and cheese we've come across, and it's also very yummy in its own right. This recipe comes from Joanne Stepaniak's The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, a wonderful source for dairy-free recipes.
