Creamy Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Serves: 4 people Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 35 minutes 35 minutes
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

  • Creamy Vegan Mac 'N' Cheese 100g / 3.5oz cashews
  • 250g / 8.8oz cauliflower
  • 200g / 7oz sweet potato
  • 200g / 7oz white potato
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 onion
  • pinches of salt & pepper
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp miso paste (or sub for soy sauce)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 20g / 0.7oz nutritional yeast
  • 4 tsp dijon mustard
  • 750ml / 3 cups plant based milk
  • 320g / 14.1oz pasta

For the breadcrumbs

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp mixed herbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F.
  2. Transfer the cashews to a small bowl and cover with hot water straight from the kettle while you carry out the next steps.
  3. Trim the cauliflower into florets. Slice the sweet potato, white potato and carrots, and cut the onion into 8 pieces. Add all the veggies to a large baking tray and season with salt, pepper and the paprika, and drizzle with olive oil. Combine with your hands, then bake for 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the baking tray from the oven, add the garlic cloves, then bake again for another 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile cook the pasta as per packet instructions.
  6. Drain the cashews and add them to a blender along with the juice of the lemon, nutritional yeast, miso paste, dijon mustard and plant-based milk. Then remove the veg from the oven (but leave the oven turned on) and peel the onion and garlic, and add both to the blender along with all the remaining veg. Blend to create a smooth 'cheesy' sauce.
  7. Drain the pasta and add to a baking dish, then pour the cheesy sauce on top. Stir to combine.
  8. Add all the breadcrumb ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine. Then sprinkle all over the mac and cheese. Bake for 10 minutes.
  9. Remove the mac 'n' cheese from the oven and serve! Delicious!

Go for it! You probably won’t need a huge amount, maybe start wit 1/4 tsp and add more if you think it needs it 🙂
