Baked Vegan Macaroni and Cheeze
Ingredients:
- 2 cup raw cashews
- 1 wheel Miyoko’s Smoked (or plain) Mozzarella, shredded
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 (16 oz) pkg pasta (we used Montebello Conchiglie), cook as directed on the package
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 cup cauliflower florets, chopped
Instructions:
- Soak cashews in water for at least 1 hour. If you forget to soak, boil in 2 cups of water for 12 minutes. Drain.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 13×9-inch baking dish with vegan butter.
- Place the cashews, mozzarella, almond milk, yeast, salt, and garlic powder into a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Mix cashew sauce with cooked pasta and vegetables. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 15-20 minutes, until browned. Remove from the oven and let it cool 5 minutes before serving.
