Vegan Mac and Cheese image

The combination of soaked cashews and nutritional yeast creates a savory sauce for this vegan mac and cheese. The cashews don't blend up completely smooth, but will have a fine texture even after processing, which helps the sauce cling to the noodles. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
