Truffle Vegan Mac and Cheese recipe

Stashcook

This is a creamy pasta dish made without any animal products. It has a special ingredient called truffle that makes it taste very fancy. You mix pasta with a sauce made from plants and bake it until it's all bubbly.

Ingredients

450 g dried macaroni pasta
1 tbsp black truffle oil
950 ml unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g. almond, cashew, oat)
1 white onion, peeled and quartered
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 tbsp vegan margarine
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
75 g vegan cheese, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp breadcrumbs

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add a pinch of salt, then add the pasta and cook for two minutes less than the packet instructions, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
In a saucepan, combine the quartered onion and plant-based milk. Heat over medium until it reaches a gentle boil, then remove from heat. Remove and discard the onion pieces, keeping the milk warm.
3
In another saucepan, melt the vegan margarine over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
4
Gradually add the warm milk to the roux, whisking constantly until smooth. Increase heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
5
Stir in the nutritional yeast, grated vegan cheese, and truffle oil. Remove from heat and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
6
Combine the sauce with the cooked pasta, ensuring it's well coated. Transfer to a large ovenproof baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
7
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the sauce is bubbling. Serve hot and enjoy!
