Vegan Mac and 'Cheese'

RECIPE - Vegan Mac & 'Cheese'
The Vegetarian Librarian w Locks

1 lb macaroni
1 cup nutritional yeast
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
2/3 cup water
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 block firm tofu
1/3 cup tamari
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 generous squirt of mustard

Preheat oven to 350F. Cook macaroni as directed on box. Drain and rinse with cool water (to halt cooking). In a food processor blend all the other ingredients until smooth. In a large bowl combine the blended 'cheese' sauce mixture with the cooked macaroni. Mix well so the sauce gets on all the noodles. Bake in a large casserole dish uncovered for 15 minutes.

This recipe is so easy, cheap and delicious. We make it once a week since filming the webisode.

SPICE IT UP! Add a Chipotle pepper or two when blending up the sauce ingredients. Gives the dish a nice smokey kick! Look for the little 7oz. cans that say "Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce."

Are you guys from Portland?

[VegetarianLibrarian]

@annieB5575 Nope we're from Chicagolandia...

[SierraLD]

can you almond milk instead of soy milk?

[VegetarianLibrarian]

@SierraLD I bet that would work, but not sure how much it would alter the flavor of the dish. I'd use unsweetened if you try it. Let us know the results :)

@VegetarianLibrarian Do you have a recipe for pizza using that cheese sauce?

[VegetarianLibrarian]

@BlackSkullz09 I don't...I haven't found any pizza cheese subs that I really like yet. Haven't tried too many though. I make a lot of pizzas with veggies only.

You need a show on PBS! I would watch it.

Looks fabulous ...I am just concerned about the "canola oil" ....it's not on the healthy list!

I NEED THIS IN MY MOUTH.

Okay, I just made your Vegan Mac & Cheese and the dish was AMAZING!!!!! Surprisingly, I had all the ingredient in my kitchen except the tamari Sauce. I substituted with half soy sauce and half Bragg's Aminos and it came out great. thanks for the recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!
