Ingredients
  

For The Main Ingredients:

  • 1 Lb Pasta
  • 1 Package Vegan Cheddar Shreds
  • 1 Cup Breadcrumbs Vegan
  • ½ Wheel Vegan mozzarella Half a wheel of Miyoko's vegan mozzarella is perfect

For The Roux:

  • 2 ½ Cups Coconut Milk
  • ¼ Cup Flour
  • 3-4 tablespoon Vegan Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Mustard Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven & prepare pasta: Prreheat the oven to 350 F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta to al dente (not crunchy, but not perfectly chewy yet). Drain and return to pot. Meanwhile, prep the sauce. 
  • Prep the roux: In a medium saucepan on medium heat, melt 3-4 tablespoon butter. Add ¼ cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper, and stir until a ball of dough forms. Add the coconut milk in four parts, whisking to combine. It's ok if there are a couple small lumps, but try to whisk them out - we want a smooth, creamy sauce here. 
  • Add flavor to sauce: Off the heat, add package of cheddar shreds and 1 tablespoon mustard powder. Stir to combine. Once melted, add to drained pasta and stir to combine. If you have mozzarella, add to the pasta and sauce. 
  • Prep casserole dish: Grease bottom and sides of casserole dish with a tablespoon of vegan butter or with butter wrapper. Then add mac and cheese. Top with thin layer of breadcrumbs. 
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes or until breadcrumbs are a light golden brown. If they brown too soon, cover with foil. 
  • Enjoy: Let mac and cheese cool for 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!
