Nooch – The affectionate nickname for the amazingness that is nutritional yeast.Learn more about vegan cheese by reading my Homemade Vegan Cheese post.

Cheeze – A common way of referring to vegan “cheese”.In addition, here’s some information for those of you who may not be familiar with the following vegan terminology: However, as per the original recipe, I’ve included that option in the directions in case you prefer baked mac & cheese.ĭecem– The response to this recipe via Pinterest and elsewhere has been incredible! I remade this today and updated the photos, as well as the recipe below by simplifying it a little bit. It’s a healthier option that I had originally read about on Jenn’s website (her version is good but this cashew one steals the show for me).Īug– I have to agree with Epicurean Vegan – this is way better straight-up, rather than baked in the oven. I sometimes uses the sauce in a big bowl of quinoa and broccoli.My sauce turned-out a bit darker because although my miso paste is labelled “white”, it’s actually really dark brown.Instead of blending the sauce ingredients in the food processor, I quickly whisk it on the stove – it’s easier and less messy that way.Blend until pureed and smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Transfer the cashews to a food processor and add the water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice and seasonings. I replaced white pepper with regular black pepper. While the noodles cook, drain and rinse the cashews.I used half the oil and it still turned out great, so that’s what I included in the recipe below.The original recipe makes a lot of sauce! The halved recipe, which provides 2-3 portions, appears below.Modifications to the original Vegan Mac & Cheese recipe
