Vegan macaroni and “cheese”
A versatile “cheese” sauce that’s delicious over noodles or as a sauce for your favorite steamed vegetables.
Serves 6
Boil peeled and chopped sweet potato, carrot and onion until fork tender.
Combine raw unsalted cashews, garlic powder, fresh garlic, onion powder, salt and 1 ½ cups of vegetable water (water from boiling the vegetables) in a food processor. Add the boiled sweet potato, carrot and onion. Process all ingredients until smooth (consistency of a sauce).
Combine sauce with your favorite noodles and top with scallions.
Add-in ideas: Beyond Meat or Morning Star grillers or crumbles or baked/grilled chicken. The cheese sauce also makes a wonderful topping for steamed vegetables, e.g. broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus.
