Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2½ cups macaroni noodles
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ¼ cup unbleached flour
- 2 cups unsweetened soy milk
- 1 packet onion soup mix (Lipton & Great Value brands are vegan-friendly)
- 1 cup vegan cheddar-style cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella-style cheese
- ¼ baguette, cut into ½-inch slices
- 1 head roasted garlic (see recipe)
- ½ cup cheddar-style cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella-style cheese
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook macaroni for 5 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain pasta.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, melt vegan butter.
- Add flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes (or until the mixture turns light brown). Remove from heat and gradually pour in the soy milk, whisking constantly.
- Return the pan to the heat, and whisk for 3-5 minutes or until thickened.
- Add the onion soup mix and 1 cup cheddar and ½ cup mozzarella cheese and stir to combine and until the cheese is melted.
- Pour the sauce over the top of the cooked elbow macaroni. Stir to combine. Add some pasta water as needed to create a thick and velvety sauce that clings to the pasta.
- Pour the pasta mixture into a casserole dish and spread out in an even layer.
- Spread roasted garlic on one side of each baguette and place them on top of the macaroni, garlic-side up.
- Sprinkle the pasta and baguette evenly with ½ cup cheddar and ½ cup mozzarella.
- Bake the mac & cheese for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley.
- Allow the dish to sit for 5-10 minutes, then serve.
