This dairy-free mac would also taste great topped with breadcrumbs and baked or broiled for some golden-brown crunch! To bake it, cook the pasta just shy of al dente and mix a few tablespoons of melted butter in the breadcrumbs. Try this recipe with broccoli, peas, leafy greens, or a combination-of course, you can leave the vegetables out altogether if you prefer mac and cheese in its pure, unadulterated form. Want to add cooked green vegetables? Fold them into the pasta just before serving so they don’t become too soggy. Keep adding it, slowly but surely, until you reach your desired consistency. The starchy water helps to create a silkier, creamier sauce that coats each noodle completely. Pro tip: Before draining the pasta, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and add in a splash or two to the noodles when you combine them with the sauce. You have to love the flavor of umami-rich miso and starchy nutritional yeast to get on board with this version of mac and cheese, but if you do, it’ll change your life. If you’re open to adding it as an ingredient, several grinds of black pepper perk up the sauce, too. The flavor of the sauce really comes to life with kosher salt. This vegan mac and cheese doesn’t involve any plant-based cheese substitutes instead, it gets its creamy, cheesy sauce from a mixture of soaked cashews, cannellini beans, white miso, and nutritional yeast.
