Reply #99: vegan mac and "cheese" on a budget.

[expatriot]

The only difference of course is the cheese sauce. This is a very refreshing substite to the pricey cheese alternatives. It may not give you your fix for cheese if you are a cheese lover from way back but my wife and I love it. p.s. we got this recipe from a peta handout at a peta conference and it may be on their website now that i think about it.

The following suffices for a 16 oz. box of pasta

1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cups nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp. chil powder
1/4 TBSP salt
1/1 TBSP garlic powder
2 cups hot water
1/4 cup canola or safflower oil
1/2 TBSP prepared mustard
1/2 TBSP apple cider vinegar

Combine flour, nutritional yeast, chili powder, salt and garlic powder in saucepan then add the hot water in slowly, whisking constantly. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring often and taking care not to scorch it. Add the oil, mustard and vinegar. Continue cooking and stirring the mixture until thick Add extra salt, garlic or chili powder to taste.

Prepare the macaroni noodles just as you would normally, drain and then you can stir in the sauce.
