Disclaimer: I typically stick with very easy meals that take 10 minutes or less and don’t require ingredients I’ve never heard of or will never use again. However, this Mac & Not Cheese is so worth the time and crazy ingredients that I will surely use again, making this dish over and over.
In a food processor, blend:
1/2 onion (I cook mine in a pan quickly first, to bring out the cooked flavor)
1/2 cup cashews
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 oz. roasted red peppers (1/2 of a 4 oz. jar)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast – This is NOT regular yeast! If your grocery store does not have it, check Whole Foods or a nutrition suppliment store.
Pour the mixture over cooked pasta and bake in the over at 425 for 20 minutes.
Ok, so it’s not going to taste exactly like cheese, so don’t expect it to. But, it does taste good and it’s healthy and humane!
