How to Prepare Oil-Free Mac and Cheese [Vegan]

  1. 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.
  2. After 20 minutes, add the vegetables (and the remaining liquid in the pan) to your blender.
  3. Drain the cashews and add them to the blender along with the nutritional yeast, sea salt, and the additional 1/2 cup of water.
