The Ultimate Vegan & Gluten Free Mac and Cheese
The perfect recipe for those wanting to enjoy Mac & Cheese BUT want it gluten free and dairy free. Or maybe are in search of a vegan recipe!
Ingredients
- 180 g Gluten Free Macaroni I use Heinz Gluten Free Macaroni Pasta
- 150 g Cashews soaked for a few hours till softer
- 2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Tbsp Corn Flour
- 1/2 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tsp Chilli Paste or finely chopped fresh chilli

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200
- Boil your gluten free macaroni until cooked, this usually takes about 8 minutes.
- Drain your pasta and put to one side
- To a blender add your soft cashews, nutritional yeast, corn flour, cumin, chilli & water. (If you eat garlic you might like to add a very small amount of garlic paste at this stage too)
- Blend until your mix is smooth & creamy - this is your Cashew 'Cheese' sauce!
- Place your gluten free macaroni in a casserole dish & pour your cashew cheese sauce on top.
- Mix it in thoroughly. (If you like a more gooey, oozy macaroni cheese, don't be afraid to put more sauce on!)
- Top with a mix of grated vegan cheese & of course your crushed Mesa Sunrise for that delicious, textured Mac and Cheese crunch!
- Bake in your preheated oven for around 15 - 20 minutes until golden.
- Remove from the oven & serve with some chopped coriander on top (optional)
- Enjoy!
