mac & cheese
Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Dec 11, 2009
This is my absolute favorite Mac 'n Cheese recipe.  It is from Kristina Brindley of Seedling Catering here in LA. Seedling Catering is a beyond awesome vegan delivery and catering company. I could go on about Kristina and her yummy dishes... but for now, you must try her Mac 'n Cheese.  
 
INGREDIENTS
3 cups Elbow pasta
1 cup soymilk
1/4 cup tamari
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp paprika
1 glove garlic
1 tsp dijon mustard
2/3 cup canola oil
salt & pepper
 
STEPS
Cook the pasta al dente.
In a blender/food processor combine the garlic, nutritional yeast, mustard and paprika, blend to chop garlic.
While the machine is running add the tamari, soymilk and canola oil and blend until creamy.
Heat sauce and mix with cooked noodles.
You can also do it as a baked Mac n’ Cheese by adding about 1/2 cup of water to the sauce and undercooking the noodles a little.
Top with breadcrumbs and bake in a casserole dish in a 350 oven until bubbly and breadcrumbs are browned.

If you have a great recipe for veg-style Mac 'n Cheese, please share them with me and the community.  Post them on your profile and flag them as “cool”. Let's have a little contest to see who can find the yummiest ones that exist in the world.  I'm excited to see what you guys post. Of course this is a treat! Not superhero fare... just fun happy silly vegan fare!

I've made this dish twice already cuz I just can't get enough of it!  It is great, filling comfort food!!!
I made this for dinner tonight, what a success!  I halved all the quantities, and used rice milk instead of soy milk, and it was awesome.  I made it a bit too early (hubby spent too long at the comic shop LOL), and when I first added the sauce to the pasta I wondered why there was so much sauce.  But, because I let it sit for a bit, the pasta soaked up all the sauce and it was just like in Alicia's picture.  Oh and I stirred some finely chopped parsley through it as well.

Bah I just accidently edited out a whole lot of my post.... bugger!  Oh well, it's almost 11pm and I'm not retyping it LOL
Is there any way that the web wizards can make it where the blog post comes up when you click the discussion. When it's one of Alicia's posts you can't access the actual post by clicking on the discussion.
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever eaten! My meat eating husband actually requests that I make it once a week!!

It didn't taste anything like I thought it would, but I really love it. I make this way more than I should.

This is so far my favorite mac and cheese recipe!! If anyone hasn't tried this you need to asap!! That good!!

This is in the oven right now... smells amazing!!!

I was really excited to try this recipe for my mac n cheese loving kids.  Currently three uneaten bowls sit on my table.  Didn't go over very well.  Bummed about that.  Guess I will have to keep looking for another recipe.  For me the taste was ok, but way too rich.  Maybe I will try it with rice milk instead of soy.  Win some, lose some I guess.
