Cashew Mac and Cheese
Dairy-free Mac and cheese that's actually good for you!! This one is made with healthy ingredients like cashews for the creaminess and nutritional yeast for the "cheesy' flavor.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Water
- 1ΒΌ cup Cashews (raw unsalted, soaked*)
- 1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1/2 tsp Ground Mustard (regular mustard will also work)
- 1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 Lemon (just the juice)
- 1/4 tsp Tumeric Powder
- Black Pepper
- 8 oz Pasta (suggestions in the post)
Instructions
- If you're not using a high speed blender like a Vitamix, I recommend soaking the cashews in a bowl of warm water for at least 2 hours beforehand. Drain them before you blend. Cook pasta according to the directions on the box. Add all the other ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste before pouring it on the pasta to see if you need to adjust any of the seasonings. Feel free to add in cooked veggies like broccoli to the pasta as well!
