Vegan Mac & Cheese. What goes with Vegan Mac and Cheese? If you're thinking of what to eat with vegan mac and cheese then there's some great sides that go perfectly with this! If you're thinking in terms of comfort food then our vegan garlic bread or vegan cornbread is a perfect addition.

I remember back when I first went vegan, trying a recipe that attempted to mimic the cheesy taste by using a combination of nutritional yeast and Dijon mustard.

This vegan mac and cheese falls under the umbrella of "comfort food" but packs a lot of vitamins and minerals.

Vegan Mac & Cheese instructions

1. Boil a little water and soak the raw cashews in it..

2. Roughly chop the potatoes, carrots, onions and green chillies. Boil them with a little bit of salt till they become soft..

3. Cook the macaroni al-dente and leave it in cool water to stop the cooking process..

4. Once the vegetables are cooked, cool them. Save the stock..

5. Add the vegetables, the soaked cashew nuts and a bit of salt to a mixer grinder or food processor. Grind till the consistency becomes smooth and "cheesy". Add the stock from the vegetables if its too thick..

6. Now, transfer the "cheese" to a large pan and heat till it starts to boil. Reduce the heat and add the cooked macaroni to the cheese. Mix thoroughly. Check for salt and spiciness. The taste would mostly be sweet with a slight spicy aftertaste. Add paprika or chilli flakes if you want..

7. Serve with a tangy stir fry to cut the creaminess of the dish. Enjoy hot. :).

While your pasta is cooking, you simply blend the creamy vegan cashew sauce in a blender until smooth.

Nutritional yeast is key, in addition to the grated potato.

It has less funk than the regular store-bought brand, so if you haven't enjoyed nutritional yeast in the past, please give.
