Vegan Mac & Cheese

Vegan Macaroni and Cheese

 

Ingredients:

 

-1/2 pound Cavatappi Pasta 

-1 package Firm Tofu

-1 1/2 cup Plant Milk

-2 cloves Garlic

-1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast

-Salt and Pepper to taste

-2 Packages Vegan Shredded Cheese of Choice (I used Violife’s Cheddar and Colby Jack)

-Non-Stick Spray

 

Directions:

 

1. Preheat the oven to 400º F

2. Prepare the pasta just before it reaches al dente

3. In a blender, combine the tofu (broken into smaller chunks to make it easier on the blender), plant milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth

4. Transfer the prepared cavatappi pasta into a large mixing bowl. Add the tofu mixture to the pasta and stir to combine. Add a package and a half of the vegan cheese. Stir well

5. Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray and add the macaroni mixture to the pan. Top with a generous amount of the remaining cheese. Spray the top of the mixture with a bit of non-stick spray to prevent the cheese from sticking 

6. Cover the macaroni and cheese with foil and bake for 60 minutes (removing the foil for the last ten minutes) or until the cheese is melted, the center of the macaroni is thick and creamy, and the top is nicely browned
