Macaroni and ‘Cheese’ (A Genuine Imitation)

June 29, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 2 cup macaroni
* 1 tablespoon soy non-hydrogenated vegan margarine
* 1 tablespoon flour
* 3 cup vegan soymilk
* 4 oz. Soymage cheddar cheese substitute (Important! Must use Soymage!)
* 1 small clove garlic, minced
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 1 tablespoon minced parsley
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon white pepper
* paprika

Directions:

Cook pasta until barely tender; drain and set aside.

Melt margarine in a saucepan and add flour. Slowly add the
soy milk, constantly whisking the mixture. If the
consistency is not thick enough, slowly sprinkle in some
flour, starting with 1/2 T and adding more if necessary.
Meanwhile, continue whisking. Add cheese, garlic, onion,
parsley, salt, and pepper. Whisk until sauce is thick and
smooth.

Combine sauce and pasta, and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at
375 degrees in a greased casserole dish for at least 30
minutes. I like a nicely golden crust, so I bake it for a
bit longer.

Note: I never use a recipe for this dish, so the ingredient
amounts might be a little off. Adjust as necessary. I’ve
tried endlessly to find a good vegan cheese substitute for
macaroni and cheese, and Soymage is the best. This dish is
much better than those recipes with nutritional yeast, and
any ex-mac & cheese afficionado vegan will definitely be
satisfied!

Serves: 2 - 4

Preparation time: 1/2 an hour + baking time

Guest_1707 : eggplant-and-ang el-hair-pasta, Maverick, keep it simple, vegan or not just do it in the italian way peel and cut the eggplant/aubergi nes, in a large pan put your extra virgin olive oil (possibly from a transparent bottle where you can see the color of a true olive oil, green and not yellow, chop onions and garlic and fry them a bit, then add the eggplants cubes, and cook until really soft, then add fresh cherry tomatoes or any small tomatoes, cutting it in an half, then don't use plenty of
Guest_2169 : Because people who don't eat flesh and blood are the minority, therefor not normal, therefore odd? (FYI: I am vegan myself but of all the silly retorts you could have made to that...)
Guest_3031 : to guest 4913--how does eating flesh and blood make you not odd? Guess he won't be back on this site for a visit.
Guest_4913 : vegans are odd
Guest_1954 : Finally! A good recipe for falafel. My boyfriend and I love that stuff and could never find a recipe that worked.
Guest_1226 : easy
KoolGirl : This is the BEST site ever!
Guest_4020 : Stuffed grape leaves is a typical dish in Middle East especially in Turkey and Greece. It has nothing to do with the Armenians.
admin : 0.9% of Americans considered themselves vegan in 2000.
