Stovetop Mac & "Cheese"


Source: Oh She Glows Every Day

"Cheese" Sauce:
1/2 cup cashews, soaked overnight
2 1/2 cups diced peeled potatoes
2/3 cup (heaping) diced carrots
6 TB nutritional yeast
2 TB grapeseed oil or coconut oil
1 cup water
3 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp white wine vinegar

Pasta:
16 oz. macaroni
10 oz. bag frozen peas, thawed (optional), or other veggie
salt & pepper to taste

1. Make sauce: Put potatoes & carrots in large pot and add water to cover. Bring to boil & simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and transfer to blender, along with rest of ingredients. Puree until smooth (Vitamix works well). Add more water if needed to adjust consistency.
2. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pot. Stir in peas & cheese sauce. Stir and heat over low until heated through and slightly thickened.
3. Serve with tofu or other protein for a main dish!
