Gluten free dining can certainly feel decadent with this recipe for truffle mac ‘n cheese — including vegan and dairy options.

Ingredients

Vegan (Pareve) Truffle Mac-n-Cheese

  • 1 and 1/2 cups RAW cashews (soaked for 1 hour prior and then drained of liquid)

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 3/4 cup water or unsweetened/unflavored soy or oat milk (to make it creamier)

  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric

Dairy Truffle Mac-n-Cheese

  • 1 tablespoon Tonnelli Avocado Oil

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 3 tablespoons gluten-free flour

  • 2 and 1/2 cups milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper

Directions

For the Vegan Version

1.

Blend all the sauce ingredients in blender.

2.

Prepare the elbow noodles according to package directions, drain, and leave in the pan. Pour the creamy sauce on top and cook over low heat while stirring for five to seven minutes.

3.

Top with sweet paprika, vegan parmesan cheese and onion salt.

For the Dairy Version

1.

Heat up a pot on medium heat, add butter.

2.

Once butter melts, add flour. Stir the flour into the butter. Cook for a minute. This forms a roux, which will help thicken the sauce.

3.

Very, very slowly add the milk a little bit at a time.

4.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to taste.

5.

Turn off the gas and add the cheese a little bit at a time.

6.

Now add truffle oil and finally, the cooked elbow pasta, cooked according to package instructions.

I thought that raw cashews are not sold in most countries because it contains a natural toxic chemical?
