Vegan Mac n’ cheez

I used to love cheesy noodles, all warm and melty… Lately I’ve been craving something comforting like Mac n’ cheese, but I can’t hang with that boxed stuff, even if it is technically vegan. So I whipped up some delicious gluten free pasta with a cheesy sauce I created. If you are expecting this to taste exactly like salty cow fat, get over it. It doesn’t. It tastes like warm, nutritious deliciousness and I can totally hang with that.

Boil water for pasta. Cook pasta. When pasta is just cooked add chopped broccoli and zucchini, then drain immediately.

While pasta is cooking
Combine in blender:
2 tbsp hemp seeds or cashews
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/3 small red bell pepper
Dashes of pink salt, onion and garlic powders, or whatever spices you like
Turmeric for color
Enough water to get to your desired consistency, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup

Mix everything until smooth. Pour over noodles and vegetables. Stay a child forever.
