How to Prepare Mac n’ Cheesy Goodness [Vegan]

Fill a large saucepan halfway with water. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, cashews and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Bring the water to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the veggies for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
While the veggies are cooking, cook your pasta according to the package's instructions. Drain the pasta and rinse it with cold water. This step is key for brown rice pasta. Set the pasta aside in the pot you cooked it in.
Drain the water from your veggies and transfer them to a blender. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, milk, miso paste, nutritional yeast, turmeric and black pepper. Blend the ingredients on medium speed for about 1 minute, until they are smooth. Pour the cheesy goodness over the pasta. Turn the heat to low, mix the sauce and pasta well and heat the pasta up. Divide the pasta between two or three serving bowls. Top each serving with additional black pepper and salt to taste.
