Mac & Cheese - a work in progress

by Corina

I'm trying to recreate the Kraft mac & cheese that I grew up with and so far haven't landed on the holy grail yet, but I'm encountering some great recipes along the way!

Try sweet potato mac https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-soups-stews/sweet-potato-chili-with-kale/

I think this comes the closest

a recipe by Kris and modified by Corina

100ml Oatley cream (or extra margarine and add veganaise)

2T margarine

1T flour (only if use cream)

2T nutritional yeast

1t mustard

2-4 slices of cheese (Simply V Character)

3 C pasta (Makka Chips in Germany look like the noodles used by Kraft, but my new fav is Japanese ramen noodles)

Dacon

1 red bell pepper/cucumber/cabbage/mango pico de gallo

• Put everything (except the pasta and bell pepper) in a pot on medium heat and stir until mixed/melted
• Add the pasta and bell pepper, garnish with black pepper and/or chili powder, and lots more nutritional yeast

Thin sauce like Kraft, but taste is still not there (though how would I know when it's been over 20 years since I tasted Kraft?)

a recipe by Richard Makin and modified by Corina

4T nutritional yeast

4T corn starch

1T mustard

2t salt

250ml Oatley cream

2T margarine

Pinch smoked paprika powder

3 C pasta (Makka Chips in Germany look like the noodles used by Kraft)

• Put everything (except the pasta) in a pot on medium heat and stir until mixed
• Add the pasta, garnish with black pepper

Similar to Annie's sweet potato pumpkin mac & cheese

a recipe by Chocolate Covered Kate and modified by Corina

0.5 C cashews (soaked overnight)

1 carrot (boiled until soft)

0.25 C nutritional yeast

1t apple cider vinegar

0.5 C water

1T margarine

1t salt

Pinch nutmeg

3 C pasta (Makka Chips in Germany look like the noodles used by Kraft)

• Put everything (except the pasta) in a blender and blend until the chunks are gone
• Pour into a pan on low heat and add...

4 slices cheese (a cheddar kind is best - SimplyV Character in Germany)

Lots more salt (2t?)

Black pepper

• Stir until the cheese is melted, then add the cooked noodles. Taste again and add more things as needed

Note: this recipe actually has protein in it from the cashews (about 20g) and the noodles (about 10g)
