Mac And Cheezevegan Yum Yum Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Peel and finely chop potatoes when cool enough to handle.
• Combine potatoes, onion, carrot, and garlic in a small pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook until soft enough to blend and water is mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer sauce to a blender. Add 3/4 cup water, cashews, soy milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, paprika, and cayenne. Cover the blender and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth.
• Heat 2 tablespoons water in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook until soft but still a little crunchy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Pour sauce in and mix until thoroughly coated.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to directions(usually about 10 minutes).
• Meanwhile, heat a sauce pan and add the margarine. Once melted, add flour and whisk vigorously until a smooth paste forms(this is called a roux). Be careful not to add flour to a pan that is very hot, or your roux will be lumpy and you'll need to start over. If you mix in the flour as soon as the margarine is melted and you should avoid any problems.
• To this paste, add tamari, lemon, miso, tahini, and tomato paste and whisk until well incorporated. The mixture should still be paste-like. Then slowly pour in the soymilk, whisking constantly, until it is completely incorporated. Add the yeast and mix well. Cook the mixture until it thickens, whisking often. This should take approximately 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• This is best baked. Add in cooked pasta to the finished cheezy sauce. Add steamed broccoli for a real treat(and/or any other vegs. you want). Top with fresh breadcrumbs and bake at 400*F. for 25 minutes, or until browned and bubbly.
