Here is a quick overview (the full printable recipe card is below): Making classic baked vegan mac and cheese can’t be any easier! Turmeric is used to add a nice light golden hue, but if you don’t have turmeric on hand, no worries, you’ll end up with a white ‘cheese’ sauce instead. If you don’t have miso on hand 2 teaspoons of dijon mustard (or 1 teaspoon dried mustard) will be great too. Soaking cashews aids in digestion and softens the cashews so they easily blend into ultra-creamy deliciousness!Ĭheese Sauce: For the cheese sauce flavoring, the nutritional yeast will add a ‘cheesy’ flavor and nutrition, the miso (also healthy) will add umami flavor. They only need to soak for 2 – 3 hours in cold water or 5 minutes in hot water (not boiling). For best results soak your cashews in water before using them. Make this gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta made with rice, quinoa, beans, or lentils.Ĭashews: Cashews should be raw and unsalted, whole or pieces.

I remade this today and updated the photos, as well as the recipe below by simplifying it a little bit. It’s a healthier option that I had originally read about on Jenn’s website (her version is good but this cashew one steals the show for me).Īug– I have to agree with Epicurean Vegan – this is way better straight-up, rather than baked in the oven. I sometimes uses the sauce in a big bowl of quinoa and broccoli. My sauce turned-out a bit darker because although my miso paste is labelled “white”, it’s actually really dark brown.
