I can't really eat out right now nor can I eat anything that is "bad" for me, which means I can't have any sugar. I had a craving for mac n' cheese. So I decided to make up my own vegan mac n' cheese. Since it has been so hot (and I don't have air conditioning) it was important for me to come up with a recipe that didn't involve me turning on my oven. Instead I used inspiration from my friend who is also on a limited diet. She used to eat Mac n' Cheese at least once a week, but now is not able to indulge in her old standby.
I cooked kamut pasta, but you can your favourite pasta. I then made a cheese sauce in a separate sauce pan. This recipe made enough for my boyfriend and I to eat dinner, plus a small portion as leftovers. The recipe for the cheese sauce:
1Tbls Earth Balance Butter (or other vegan butter)
1Tbls whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other alternative milk)
1 1/2 Daiyan cheese (this is important is melts)
Pepper to taste
Melt the butter with flour in a small sauce pan until browns a little. Add the "milk" and stir. Add the "cheese" and pepper to taste. Stir frequently until the cheese is melted. Pour over cooked pasta. Then enjoy!
