Vegan Mac & Cheese

Ingredients

1 package pasta of choice (500g)

1/2 cup cashews, soaked overnight

1/2 tbsp dried herbs ( thyme, rosemary, sage)

2 cups light coconut milk

5 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1 cup reserved pasta water

1 tsp. olive oil

Kosher Salt & Pepper

Method

1. Cook pasta according to instructions on packet. Remember- just before you go to drain the cooked pasta, reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water.

2. In a high speed blender, pour in cashews, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper & dried herbs. Blend until a creamy consistency forms.

4. In a medium sauce pan, pour in sauce and heat for 1-2 minutes. Add pasta and a little bit of the pasta water. Stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, continue to add in reserved pasta water until you reach a nice creamy consistency.

5. Sprinkle some pepper overtop and enjoy!
