How to Prepare Spicy Broccoli Mac ‘n’ Cheese [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Start by soaking cashews overnight.
The next day, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta.
While pasta is cooking, drain and rinse the cashews, add them to a high-speed blender and add the almond milk, nutritional yeast, cayenne powder, chili powder, onion powder, pepper, and spicy mustard.
Blend until creamy smooth.
Add more almond milk if you desire a thinner consistency.
Rinse, chop and sautée the broccoli, onion, and mushrooms in a non-stick skillet.
Drain the pasta and put back in the pan, pour the creamy sauce over the top and stir in.
Add the veggies and stir it again. Turn heat back on medium for 1-2 minutes until sauce is warm.
