  • 1/4 cup white flour
  • 3 cups rice milk
  • 2 cups Nafsika’s Garden vegan shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt add more or less to taste

 

Topping

  • 1 cup french fried onions
  • 1/2 cup vegan Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook pasta according to package. For the cheese sauce, melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour to make a roux. Whisk in milk slowly and simmer until thick and bubbly. Mix in nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and salt. Stir in cheese and cream cheese or cashew cheese* until melted. For the crispy topping blend french fried onions, breadcrumbs, garlic salt, and parsley in a food processor or blender. Combine the noodles and cheese sauce and pour into a 9×13 glass pan. Sprinkle the topping all over and cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes and then take the foil off. Bake for another 5 minutes uncovered.

Notes *Cashew cream recipe: Blend 1 cup soaked cashews with 1/2 cup water & 1 tsp lemon juice until completely creamy. If necessary, add a touch more water. You only need 1/2 cup of cashew cream for this recipe, so you will have some leftover.
