*Recipe*

Ingredients:

7 gold potatoes, peeled & cut into eighths 
2 carrots, peeled & thinly sliced
1/2 yellow onion, cut into quarters
5 garlic cloves, peeled & ends cut
1 small jalapeño, de-seeded & thinly sliced
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup cashew pieces
3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup grape seed oil
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/4 tsp black pepper

Preparation:

Bring a large sauce pot with 4 quarts of water to boil, add 1/4 cup salt, & whisk in. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, & jalapeño to the pot and boil for 20 minutes. About 15 minutes in, use a ladle to reserve 2 to 3 cups of the water from the boiled vegetables. Strain veggies when done boiling and set aside in a separate bowl.

Bring a medium sauce pot with 1 to 2 quarts of water to boil, add 3 to 4 tablespoons salt, and whisk in. Add the cashew pieces to the pot and boil for 15 minutes. Strain the cashew pieces when done boiling and set aside in a separate bowl.

Add all ingredients to a blender in the following order: Boiled vegetables, boiled cashew pieces, nutritional yeast, salt & pepper, reserved boiling liquid, grape seed oil, & lemon juice. Blend on a low to medium speed until all hard ingredients are well-incorporated, then turn the blender speed to high until the mixture comes together into liquid form. Pour the vegan cheese sauce into a separate bowl and set aside.

Boil a whole package of pasta of your preference, strain the pasta, then add back into the sauce pot it was boiled in. Pour half of the prepared cheese sauce over the pasta in the sauce pot and mix together until pasta is well-coated. Refrigerate the remaining half portion of cheese sauce and use for another batch of mac & cheese.

Serve mac & cheese on its own or with toppings of your choice.

Enjoy!
