Vegan Mac & Cheese
“My vegan mac and cheese recipe is a beautiful alternative to one that contains dairy. This recipe contains healthy fats from the cashews, plus vegetables from the squash. Another option is to add kale or spinach to the pasta water to flash-cook it right before the pasta is done, then drain it all together and add the cheese.”
