Thread: Macaroni & Cheese, kinda!

I found this recipe a while back, and then got the "nootch" so I could try it... Very tasty!
Dear Hubby didn't realize it wasn't cheese!

I used whole, cow milk - and skipped the turmeric. Used Orzo pasta...

Nutritional Yeast "Cheese" Sauce
Cook Time:10 Min Total Time:10 Min
Serves 2

Ingredients
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup almond milk
½ cup nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste (we use ¼ teaspoon salt and a few shakes of pepper)

Instructions
1
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the flour and mix to form a paste.
2
Add the milk and stir well to remove any lumps. Keep stirring every few minutes until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
3
Add the nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard and spices, and beat with a whisk until smooth, adding more milk if the sauce is too thick. Serve over veggies or pasta, use as a dip, or enjoy it any other way you can think of.
