Instructions for the vegan mac n'cheese recipe
Cook pasta as directed, drain and set aside.
Boil the potatoes and carrots in a small pot until tender. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of water from the pot.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the carrots and potatoes into a food processor and process until smooth, slowly pouring in half a cup of water.
Add the rest of the water and additional ingredients (except for protein powder and pasta) and process until thoroughly mixed.
Add protein powder and process again, scraping down the sides as needed until everything is blended smoothly.
Pour the “cheese” sauce over the pasta and add toppings such as green onion, herbs, and chili pepper.
If you want to kick it up a notch, pour the mac n'cheese in an oven-safe container and sprinkle a generous amount of plant-based cheese. Place it a few minutes on broil in the oven. You'll have a mac n'cheese au gratin !
