How to Prepare Oil-Free Mac and Cheese [Vegan]
- Place the potato, carrot, onion, turmeric, and garlic in a pan, cover with 2 cups of water, and simmer for 20 minutes with the lid on.
- After 20 minutes, add the vegetables (and the remaining liquid in the pan) to your blender.
- Drain the cashews and add them to the blender along with the nutritional yeast, sea salt, and the additional 1/2 cup of water.
- Blend until the sauce is creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Cook however much pasta you want according to the directions on the box and then strain and rinse with cold water to stop it from cooking. Return to the pan.
- Turn heat to very low, and pour as much cheese sauce over the pasta as you like. Add black pepper and salt to taste. Serve.
