Vegan Macaroni and Cheese

By eHow Food & Drink Editor

Things You'll Need:
Large pot
400g dry macaroni
250g tofu
1 cup plain soy milk (or other vegan milk)
½ cup tahini
6 tbsps. nutritional yeast
1 tbsp. turmeric
Blender
Large bowl
Onion and garlic powder to taste, optional
Salt to taste
Oil
Baking dish
2 tbsps. margarine
Paprika

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the macaroni. Cover, remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. This method saves energy, but you can make the macaroni however you like.

Place tofu, soy milk, tahini, nutritional yeast and turmeric in the blender and blend until creamy. Pour the tofu mixture into a large bowl.

Add optional seasonings, such as garlic or onion powder, or any herbs and spices you like in your macaroni and cheese. Add salt to taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Drain the macaroni and add the noodles to the sauce. Stir gently until the macaroni and sauce are fully incorporated.

Lightly oil a baking dish and pour the macaroni into the dish. Dot the top with 2 tbsps. margarine. Dust with paprika and garlic powder if desired.

Bake in a 180-degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a golden-brown crust forms on the top of your vegan macaroni and cheese.
