Lazy Mac' n' Cheese
This super simple vegan Mac and Cheese uses just two main ingredients for the sauce.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked pasta - macar
- 2 tablespoon vegan butter, softened - try Earth Balance
- 4 tablespoon nutritional yeast - I like Kal brand
- 2-5 tablespoon non-dairy milk, plain - room temp or slightly warmed
Instructions
- Add pasta a a large pot of boiling water. Cook pasta, until tender - usually around 7-10 minutes for basic macaroni.
- Drain water from cooked pasta. Keep pasta in same pot (or transfer to a medium bowl if preferred.)
- Add in the vegan butter, nutritional yeast and start with two tablespoons of non-dairy milk.
- Fold the sauce ingredients into the hot pasta. the heat from the pasta will melt the softened butter and warm the nooch into a creamier texture. Keep gently folding until the pasta is creamy.
- Serve warm or store in the fridge until ready to serve. Tip: This pasta is actually even better the next day or as leftovers because the sauce smoothes out even more and soaks into the pasta.
