Creamy dairy-free and vegan mac & cheese made with carrots, nutritional yeast, and chickpea or lentil pasta. A healthy, protein-packed comfort food that’s gluten-free, plant-based, and family-friendly.
2 cups water
8 oz. chickpea or lentil pasta
3/4 cup chopped soft-cooked carrots
6 tablespoons oil (coconut, avocado, sesame)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1/4 cup arrowroot starch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (plus additional on back end)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Dash cayenne pepper (doesn’t make it hot)
3/4 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk
Put the water, cooked carrots, oil, nutritional yeast, arrowroot, lemon juice, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne in your blender. Blend until all of the carrot bits have vanished and the mixture is smooth, mix for about 2 minutes.
Place in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Slowly whisk in the milk beverage as needed to reach your desired consistency.
Add more salt, to taste, if needed. I often add another 1/8 tsp. or so
This sauce is best used immediately, but it can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Gently reheat the sauce when ready to use, but do not bring it to a boil.
