My youngest daughter could probably live on Mac and Cheese! I know she'll love this recipe for Vegan Mac and Cheese made even more delicious with Young Living's Vitality Dietary Essential Oils!!!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ of a small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 12 ounces dried macaroni (around 3 cups)
- 1 russet potato, peeled & diced
- 1 medium red pepper, roasted & chopped (or 1 med carrot, peeled & diced)
- ½â€¯cup full-fat coconut or nut milk
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- ¼â€¯cup sunflower seeds or cashews, soaked
- 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes (use more for a cheesier taste)
- 2 to 4 drops Vitality Dietary Lemon Essential Oil (or 1 TBSP lemon juice)
- ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
- 1 drop of Vitality Dietary Black Pepper Essential Oil (or ½ teaspoon black pepper)
- Paprika for garnish
- To make this recipe gluten-free, replace the traditional macaroni noodles for those made with gluten-free flour such as corn, rice, or chickpea flour.
*Safety First: Only use essential oils labeled Vitality Dietary, For Internal Use, or GRAS when ingesting.
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside (keep warm).
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, potatoes, and red pepper/carrots and sauté for a few minutes, until fragrant.
- Add in coconut milk and vegetable broth, stir, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat, cover, and let cook until veggies are soft and fork easily goes through when inserted (about 10-15 minutes).
- Carefully pour skillet contents into a blender container and add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
- Pour blended sauce over cooked pasta and gently mix together. Garnish with paprika and enjoy!!
- Alternate serving idea: Use this cheesy-tasting sauce with cooked potatoes, steamed veggies, and different types of pasta.
