I have been searching for a mac & cheese recipe that didn't use some vegan butter or oil. Not easy by any means. I found a great recipe a few days ago on a Facebook site, which I wrote about. After entering the ingredients into Spark Recipes the calories and fat were way too high! Still, the recipe looked good, but had to pass.

Tonight I figured I would make my own. So using this cheese sauce recipe, I boiled up some organic brown rice pasta fusilli and steamed some broccoli. I added a few dashes of smoked paprika. The result:



I thought it had a pretty good taste, all things considered. If I would not have added so much paprika, my son would have eaten it all down, but it was a bit spicy. You can read the short recipe here. Enjoy. Modify. Eat.

Looks really good! Thanks for sharing.

I had this last weekend and it was delicious. I added mushrooms and didn't use the Braggs/soy sauce in the cheese sauce and it was still excellent. Mac & Cheese is a huge comfort food for me and I will recommend this recipe to everyone looking for a substitute. Thanks for the recipe (and picture)

Good to hear David. Yeah, it's nothing more than a base dish to work from, adding whatever you would like.

That sounds yummy! I have cooked chickpeas in the fridge. Do you think they would work in place of the white beans?

Oh yum. Who doesnt love mac and cheese? Gonna make this for sup one day this week.

kc42, yeah the should. I usually use whatever beans I have in the pantry, usually they are a white bean.
