Vegan Mac & Cheese

Who can resist a good old Mac & Cheese vegan style. This recipe has the best cheese sauce you will ever have, made with only plant based ingredients. The sauce is so creamy and cheesy and it goes perfectly with any kind of pasta or even zoodles.

I love using buckwheat or lentil pasta for a gluten free dinner but you can use any other tupe of pasta. This is the ultimate mac&cheese and it is made with only 8 simple ingredients that will tick your vegetable intake for the day.

This mac&cheese sauce can also be used in nachos because it is so creamy and soft and it keeps up to 6 days in a sealed container in the fridge. For this recipe I also use my parmesan cheese recipe but you can use any kind of parmesan cheese substitute.
