WFPBNO Mac and Cheese #vegancomfortfood #eattolose

Mac and cheese, Tuna-ish, Oil Free Salad


     Gotta eat, right? For my dinner, I gotta eat right! So here is a picture of my whole foods plant based no oil dinner. It was a lot of food and I totally stuffed myself, but guilt free. Sometimes you just have to power through the plate to hit that comfort zone. 

WFPBNO MAC and Cheese


Cheezy Macaroni
Plant Perfect
Prep Time:  20 min
Cook Time:  30 min
Total time:  50 min

Recipe
3 Yukon gold potatoes
6 T Nutritional yeast
6 T Tapioca flour
1 T lemon juice
⅓ cup white vinegar
1/2 t Tabasco
1 level T salt
1/4 t Turmeric
1/4 t paprika (or smoked paprika)
1 3/4 cups of water from the potatoes

Peel, slice and boil the potatoes in salt water until cooked. (about 30 minutes). Save at least 2 cups of the water for later.
Boil a box of whole grain rotini per package directions for 9 minutes. Don't overcook it. Strain it and set aside.

Put everything along with the 1 1/4 cups of the water from the potatoes into your blender or food processor and puree it until smooth.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook it on medium low heat stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon until it thickens (about 12 to 15 minutes) .

In the pot you used to cook the pasta, mix the sauce and pasta together, stirring it over low heat until it reaches the desired thickness. Add a little more water if it's too thick. Let it cool allowing it to thicken a little more and serve warm.
Season with salt, pepper etc. to taste.

The sauce is also great for nachos or over veggies!
