Veggie mac no cheese

October 04, 2020

This is a delicious recipe that will make anyone eat their veg!

Cook 500g of whole grain pasta and put aside.

Water fry 1 chopped onion and 1 garlic head (minced or crushed). After 10’, add:

  • 200g of chopped kale
  • 200g of chopped broccoli (or 1 head)
  • 1 tin of diced tomatoes

Cook on low-medium heat until the vegetables are cooked.

In the meanwhile, prepare the no-cheese sauce. In a smoothie blender, add:

  • 1 cup cashew nuts
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 onion
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Blend until smooth.

Important note: If you intend to keep this dish overnight and eat the leftovers the next day, I would advise to not add the nutritional yeast in the blend, and rather to sprinkle some nutritional yeast when you serve the dish. The reason is that I noticed this dish takes a different, quite yucky, taste after spending some time in the fridge.

Mix pasta, veggies and sauce, and cook for another 2’. Yummy!
