HOT & SPICY, LOW CARB, VEGAN MAC & CHEESE



Hot & Spicy, Low Carb, Vegan Mac & Cheese image

Love Spicy. Love Cheese. Currently a vegan, so I'm made some adjustments to create: "Hot & Spicy, Low Carb, Vegan Mac & Cheese" PLEASE NOTE: this is NOT going to be "creamy and smooth" like full-fat, artery clogging mac & cheese. But, it tastes just as good even if it is firm. Eat it while hot because once it cools... it sticks together. I'm sorry, but I'd rather eat this, have the taste and it not be creamy, than have creamy mac & cheese for 10 mintues and my chest cut open for a heart by-pass surgery that takes 16 hours. ALSO NOTE: If you are not a vegan, please only use FAT-FREE real cheese or AS LOW-FAT as you can get. DO NOT USE FLOUR, BUTTER OR MILK or any other saturated fat in this recipe for ANY REASON, PLEASE :-) Thank you! :-)

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 ounces whole wheat pasta, elbows (I use "Dreamfield's Brand as seen in the photos for this recipe)
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup vegan parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup vegan cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup v- 8 butternut squash soup (Can't find the soup? No worries! Just use defrosted frozen butternut squash instead)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard (from here down, feel free to add a LOT more of these spices if you want. These are just guidelines. )
1/2 teaspoon white pepper (white pepper is HOTTER than "black" pepper, so if it's your first time using it, be careful.)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3 dashes Tabasco sauce (again, a guildeline. I use 1/4 a bottle sometimes! Really. Yeah, I like it spicy!)

Steps:

  • Boil pasta shells in salted water until slightly firm, according to package directions.
  • In another saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, Parmesan, cheddar, and butternut squash over medium heat until melted and combined. Turn off the heat. Add salt, mustard, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder & Tabasco.
  • Drain the pasta but don't rinse it. Add it to the cheese sauce (use a large bowl if necessary) and toss to coat the pasta. Taste and add more salt or pepper, according to your taste.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¾ cups whole wheat elbow macaroni
2 potatoes
1 small onion, chopped
½ carrot, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
¾ cup water
½ cup cashews
¼ cup soy milk
¼ cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 dash ground paprika
1 dash cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons water
2 cups chopped broccoli florets

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Peel and finely chop potatoes when cool enough to handle.
  • Combine potatoes, onion, carrot, and garlic in a small pot over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook until soft enough to blend and water is mostly evaporated, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer sauce to a blender. Add 3/4 cup water, cashews, soy milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, paprika, and cayenne. Cover the blender and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons water in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook until soft but still a little crunchy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Pour sauce in and mix until thoroughly coated.

  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: You want the vegetables to retain their texture and nutrients. Cook them until they are tender-crisp.
  • Make it Spicy: If you like your mac and cheese with a kick, add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
