Neville Noms Vegan Baked Macaroni and Cheese 💛
Honestly, macaroni and cheese - specifically, baked macaroni and cheese, the Crucian staple - was the only “hard” thing for me to give up when I recommitted to a cruelty-free lifestyle just over two months ago (💪🏼). After trying several recipes, this one that I made up on the fly will forever satisfy my cravings. It is not designed to be “healthy;” it is designed to remain creamy inside while becoming crisp on top, and the margarine, bouillon, and vegetable oil help with that immensely. You can make it “healthier” by eliminating these; I just recommend that you bake it for less time if you do so.
INGREDIENTS:
-16 oz pasta shells, cooked al dente and rinsed in cold water
-2 1/3 c cashews, soaked for at least an hour
-½ c water 
-1 vegetable bouillon cube
-1 c nutritional yeast seasoning, and about 1 tbsp for sprinkling on top
-4 cloves garlic
-2 tbsp dry white wine (make sure it’s vegan!)
-1 tsp tomato paste
-1 tsp Dijon mustard
-3 tbsp soy sauce
-½ tsp turmeric 
-juice of half a lemon
-½ c vegetable oil 
-¼ c vegan margarine 
-¼ c breadcrumbs + about 1 tbsp for sprinkling on top
-Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning or other savory seasoned salt for sprinkling on top
METHOD:
-Prepare the pasta shells. Set aside the pot. 
-Preheat oven to 350F.
-Blend the cashews, water, bouillon cube, nutritional seasoning, garlic, wine, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, turmeric, lemon juice, oil, and margarine until creamy smooth. Add a little water if your blender gets stuck.
-In a large pot, gently fold the sauce and bread crumbs in with the pasta until well combined. 
-Spread evenly in a casserole dish, and top with remaining breadcrumbs and seasoning. 
-Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. 
-Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp.
-Serve with love.
