Flashback Mac and Cheese
Comfort food, just like you remember.
Serves: 2-4
Preparation time: 15-20 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour (I use all-purpose)
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmuric
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups vegetable brooth
1 cup unsweetened, non-dairy milk
3 tablespoons mild-tasting oil (such as corn oil)
1 lb. macaroni (or fusilli, bowties, shells - whatever makes you happy)
Directions:
Cook macaroni (or other shaped pasta) according to package directions.
While your mac is cooking, make the "cheese" sauce:
In a bowl combine the water, milk, and oil and whisk briefly.
In another bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients together.
Heat a medium saucepan. Add the dry ingredients to the saucepan, and slowly add the wet ingredients, continuously whisking over medium heat. Once all of the ingredients are incorporated, turn up the heat until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken. Keep whisking as the mixture thickens and bubbles - do this for about a minute or two, and then turn the heat down. Keep whisking. After a spell, your "cheese" sauce should be nice and thick. Turn the heat off, and cover your saucepan.
Check your pasta - is it done? If so, drain well, and return your noodles to the pot. Add all of your "cheese" sauce to the noodles, and stir well and serve immediately.
