And the bad ones truly are awful.<\/p>\n<p>I remember back when I first went vegan, trying a recipe that attempted to mimic the cheesy taste by using a combination of nutritional yeast, miso, and Dijon mustard. <\/p>\n<p>The vegan recipe claimed to taste just like real mac and cheese. Spoiler alert: it didn\u2019t even come close.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also tried some vegan restaurant versions or packaged varieties (not naming brand names) so far away from tasting anything like mac and cheese that I honestly don\u2019t know how they ever made it onto shelves.<\/p>\n<p>With this simple vegan mac and cheese recipe today, I\u2019m not going to tell you it tastes exactly like Kraft or Velveeta. But it is absolutely delicious in its own right and completely satisfies even my strongest mac and cheese cravings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"818\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"Cashew Cheese Sauce For Vegan Mac And Cheese\" title=\"Cashew Cheese Sauce\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1637766407_679_Vegan-Mac-And-Cheese-The-BEST-Recipe.jpg\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"818\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1637766407_679_Vegan-Mac-And-Cheese-The-BEST-Recipe.jpg\" alt=\"Cashew Cheese Sauce For Vegan Mac And Cheese\" title=\"Cashew Cheese Sauce\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The nondairy recipe has received a resounding stamp of approval <strong>from every non vegan who\u2019s tried it<\/strong>, which is hugely important to note, because if someone who remembers what traditional mac and cheese tastes like says it\u2019s good, you know it must be true!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not saying vegans have inferior taste buds (obviously my taste buds are super awesome), but I do admit that sometimes we can get excited about a dish simply because a plant-based version is offered.<\/p>\n<p>I can think of quite a few examples of this from over the years, especially with things I\u2019ve ordered at restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Those vegan cannoli that tasted like someone who\u2019d clearly never been to Italy had simply stuffed vanilla frosting into a cannoli shell\u2026 were they they best cannoli I\u2019d ever had in my life?

Or I\u2019ve also linked a nut-free and soy-free vegan cheese sauce in the recipe below. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike many other dairy free macaroni and cheese recipes online or a box of Annie\u2019s vegan mac and cheese, this one has no butternut squash, cornstarch, or cauliflower, although<strong> I do also have a Cauliflower Alfredo Recipe on the blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The classic orange color and rich flavor are thanks in part to a surprising antioxidant packed healthy ingredient: roasted carrot! <\/p>\n<p>If you want to make mac and cheese without nutritional yeast, just use the shredded vegan cheese option instead. Vegan cheddar, mozzarella, 4 cheese Mexican blend, Parmesan, or Monterey Jack all work.<\/p>\n<p>With mac and cheese, it\u2019s good to have options.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><picture class=\"wp-image-69182\" title=\"Pasta Shapes For Mac And Cheese\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-lazy-  data-lazy-\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"839\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20710%20839'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Pasta Shapes For Mac And Cheese\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1637766407_684_Vegan-Mac-And-Cheese-The-BEST-Recipe.jpg\"\/><\/picture><noscript><picture class=\"wp-image-69182\" title=\"Pasta Shapes For Mac And Cheese\"><source type=\"image\/webp\"  \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"839\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatehealthreport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1637766407_684_Vegan-Mac-And-Cheese-The-BEST-Recipe.jpg\" alt=\"Pasta Shapes For Mac And Cheese\"  \/><\/picture><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3>What kind of pasta works best?<\/h3>\n<p>Pretty much any noodles will work here, and whole wheat or gluten free pasta is fine to use as well.
