I personally like finish it with some generous amount of vegan grated cheese on top and bake it until it goes super golden and crispy. The baking step is actually completely up to you. It can last up to 4 days in the fridge, which makes it perfect for meal prep. It can be made in advance and cooked last minute.Ģ.It can also be frozen (both before or after baking).ģ. If you’re looking for even more reasons to make it let me tell you a few more:ġ.
#EASY VEGAN MAC AND CHEESE REIPE FREE#
The cheese sauce is already suitable for a gluten free diet, so you will only need to use gluten free pasta, even some pulse based ones, if you also want to pack some extra proteins. So if anything we have to thank him for pushing me to publish this, after I put it together with some leftover steamed squash that was staring at me from the fridge, urging to be used up.Īnother good news is that it can also be made completely gluten free too. He was completely unaware on what it was in it, he assumed it contained some sort of vegan cheddar or turmeric for the colour, and he was very pleased to discover that it was actually a healthier version to others I’ve been making. The main reason why I decided to share it on the blog is after my husband awarded it the best mac & cheese he has had since going vegan. Now I don’t want you to be skeptical about this recipe. Some examples showcasing this gorgeous ingredient are this Stuffed Squash Wellington, a stunning centerpiece, these Homemade Gnocchi or these Ravioli, this Stuffed Roasted Butternut Squash and this Christmas-y Winter Veggie Lasagna. I LOVE working with this ingredient, that is probably (ok, definitely) my favourite in the squash and pumpkins world.

As you are aware I often use tapioca in my cheesy preparation, you can find it for example in my Cauliflower Cheese, this Savoy Cabbage and Potato Casserole, this Vegetable Lasagna with Pesto and Cheesy Sauce, this mouthwatering Vegan Philly Cheesesteak, and obviously in my Ultimate Vegan Mozzarella Recipe.Īs mentioned in the introduction this recipe contains a secret ingredient: Butternut Squash. We are going to make a cheesy besciamelle with the amazing tapioca starch, that gives the perfect cheesy stretch and feel to the dish. We all know that the base for a good old macaroni and cheese is a white sauce or besciamelle. It’s probably the best comfort food known to humans and you’ll be amazed on how this recipe comes close to the “real thing” even though it doesn’t actually have any cheese in it.
