Best Ever Vegan Mac & Cheese

6 servings

I know. It's a bold claim, but I stand by what I said: this is THE best tasting vegan mac and cheese. Even better? No fake cheese required.


As much as I claim to be a pasta connoisseur, I'm even more so a connoisseur of mac & cheese. I'll eat it in any shape or form, but I'm picky about what makes really really good mac and cheese.


For me, I like stovetop macaroni and cheese, not baked. I prefer it creamy, not crunchy or crispy, and I want it to be very very saucy. This recipe totally delivers on saucy, creamy, and full of flavor.
