Mac ‘n “Cheese”, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

Today I made a vegan version of the classic Mac ‘n Cheese. It’s one of Jose’s favorites so we were happy.

8 oz macaroni pasta
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp dried yellow mustard powder
1 cup water
1 tbsp non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
4 oz shredded vegan cheese (your favorite)
cayenne pepper (to taste)

1. Cook the pasta in a large pan of rapidly boiling water until it is tender.

2. While pasta is cooking, mix nutritional yeast, salt, whole wheat flour, garlic powder and dried yellow mustard powder in small saucepan. Add water and whisk until clumps are gone.

3. Stir mixture over medium heat. Add margarine and cook until thick, stirring frequently.

4. Drain pasta and place in baking dish. Add cheese sauce. Cover with shredded vegan cheese and cayene pepper.

5. Bake covered for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove cover and broil until cheese is a bit golden. Serve with garlic toast.

This has become one of my favorite dishes.
