Perfect Creamy Mac and CheeseIngredients (use vegan versions): 1/4 cup vegan butter
1/4 cups flour
2 cups soymilk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic
1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
16 ounces pasta noodels (I prefer Medium Shells)
Dash of paprika (optional)
Directions:1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Boil water for noodles.
2) In a medium sized sauce pan, put the margarine over medium heat. Once melted, lower heat and slowly stir in flour. Bring to a creamy texture and raise heat to medium. Stir in soymilk until the sauce is thick and creamy. Add the spices and give it the ol' taste test. This is the white sauce and the foundation of the mac and cheese.
3) Here comes the tricky part. Divide the cups of cheese in half. Set 1/2 cup mozorella and 1/2 cup cheddar aside for later. Now use the other 1/2 cups and stir them into the white sauce. Once again, stir until sauce is thick, creamy, and the cheeses are even.
4) Drain the noodles. Pour the sauce over the noodles in a large baking pan.
5) Now take the two 1/2 cups of cheese that were set aside earlier. Mix the two cheeses together and sprinkle across the top of the Mac and Cheese. Dash a little bit of paprika on top of that.
NOTE: I actually sprinkled the cheese in layers. Poured half of my Mac and Cheese mixture in the baking pan and sprinkled it on top of that. Covered it with the remaining Mac and Cheese and then used the rest to top it. Bake covered for 20 minutes.
