Vegan Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

  1. 4 tablespoons Smart Balance Light spread
    3 cups vegetable broth
    1/4 cup flour
    1/8 cup soy sauce
    1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 tablespoon turmeric
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 cup nutritional yeast
    1 pound cooked macaroni pasta
  1. For the topping:
    2 tablespoons Smart Balance Light spread
    1 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a medium size dutch oven, over low-medium heat, melt the Smart Balance Light spread, then slowly incorporate flour and vegetable broth; whisk until smooth.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper.
  4. Add nutritional yeast and mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add cooked macaroni to the sauce and stir until all pasta is coated evenly. (If you prefer the mac and cheese to be creamier, forgo baking it and serve at this stage.)
  6. Optional: transfer mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.
  7. To make the topping, melt the Smart Balance Light spread and toss in the breadcrumbs until coated. Top macaroni mixture with the breadcrumbs.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes. Let rest for five minutes before serving.

Makes 8 entree-size servings.
