Once the noodles are cooked, this recipe is as simple as adding the vegan cheddar along with almond milk for creaminess, nutritional yeast for more cheesiness, and salt for flavor. A legume-based pasta such as Banza will give this meal more protein, fiber, and staying power. But you can use any noodle variety you prefer. Our top “cheddar” recommendation is Field Roast Chao Vegan Slices - Creamy Original (see our full guide to vegan cheeses here).įor the noodles, we used a shell shape for Kraft reminiscing but also to maximize the amount of sauce in every bite. If you’re more of a store-bought vegan cheddar fan, that can work too. It’ll be perfect for making mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches in no time! We recommend making a batch ahead of time and storing it in the fridge or freezer. Made with a base of cashews and carrots, it’s wholesome but tastes indulgent and comforting. The star of this recipe is our easy vegan cheddar cheese.
