How to Prepare Smoky Chipotle Mac and Cheese [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Boil potatoes and carrots until soft, about 25 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then add to the blender.
Add everything else to the blender. Use the least amount of water because you’ll want this on the thicker side. Add small amounts of chipotle pepper at a time. Blend and taste to see if it’s spicy or salty enough.
Once sauce is ready pour over pasta and mix with the pasta.
