I also have a vegan mac n' cheese recipe which uses more cashews than this and more yeast flakes. I also added some cornstarch and used the veggies and it is absolutely heavenly. Gluten-Free: This vegan mac and cheese recipe is not gluten-free as-is, but you can make it gluten-free by using gluten-free flour for the roux and gluten-free elbow noodles, they taste great (You can also find them at Sprout's Costco, and Whole Foods) and hold their shape perfectly! Vegan Butter Options: Miyokos butter is my favorite vegan butter, but you could also.

Vegan Mac & Cheese step by step

1. Boil a little water and soak the raw cashews in it..
2. Roughly chop the potatoes, carrots, onions and green chillies. Boil them with a little bit of salt till they become soft..
3. Cook the macaroni al-dente and leave it in cool water to stop the cooking process..
4. Once the vegetables are cooked, cool them. Save the stock..
5. Add the vegetables, the soaked cashew nuts and a bit of salt to a mixer grinder or food processor. Grind till the consistency becomes smooth and "cheesy". Add the stock from the vegetables if it's too thick..
6. Now, transfer the "cheese" to a large pan and heat till it starts to boil. Reduce the heat and add the cooked macaroni to the cheese. Mix thoroughly. Check for salt and spiciness. The taste would mostly be sweet with a slight spicy aftertaste. Add paprika or chilli flakes if you want..
7. Serve with a tangy stir fry to cut the creaminess of the dish. Enjoy hot. :).

Much to my surprise, I really like vegan mac and cheese. And while vegan and cheese rarely go together, where vegan mac and cheese is lacking in dairy products it makes up for in flavor. This vegan mac perfectly combines creamy sauce and a crunchy topping with the addition of olive oil-toasted panko breadcrumbs and parsley for some added freshness. Trust, you won't miss a single. We might be biased, but this super creamy, vegan mac and cheese is hands down the best vegan mac and cheese recipe you'll ever make.
