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!
