HOW TO MAKE THE BEST VEGAN MAC AND CHEESE

Prepare the pasta

In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta in accordance with the directions on the package. Note that larger macaroni might take longer time to cook.

Make the sauce 

In a high speed blender, combine, lemon juice, mustard, salt, nutritional yeast, cashews, water, and spices. Blend until very smooth.

Note: If you don't have an high speed blender, soak your cashew with boiled water for about 15 minutes, then add to the blender alongside other ingredients.

Mix it together 

When the macaroni is done cooking, drain the water and return back into the pot. Pour in the sauce and stir over medium heat until the macaroni is well coated in the sauce.

Adjust any seasoning to taste, adding more salt, as needed. You can also add an extra few tablespoons of water, if you’d like the sauce to have a more runny texture.
