Vegan Spinach Mac n' Cheese

ingredients:
Cheese:
  • 3 cups milk (i use 1-2%. soy milk also works wonderfully)
  • 1 tbps paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic or 3 cloves minced (generous w the garlic is fine)
  • 1/3 c. braggs liquid aminos (or 1/4 c. soy or tamari sauce)
  • 3/4 c. nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 block of firm tofu ( i sometimes put in 3/4)
  • 1/2 c. vegetable oil
  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach- defrosted (you could use fresh, steamed, but its much more work for the same result).

Casserole:
  • 1 box macaroni noodles
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350. Blend cheese ingredients in blender. make sure the spinach really gets pureed.
  • Cook noodles according to package directions, place in casserole dish. mix in mustard.
  • Pour soy cheese over the noodles until they're just covered. Mixture should be pretty liquidy. Make sure the cheese isn't too dry because it will thicken in the oven.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese darkens slightly and begins to
  • bubble on top.
