Vegan "Mac 'n Cheese"

I am going to keep it simple for the first post, well, simple for you because this recipe came after a long list of rejected attempts. (...either Savannah or Zoey had not approved of previous recipes). You, get the one with all THUMBS UP!

Ingredients:

GF pasta (I use Rizopia or Go Go Quinoa)

2 medium-large yellow potatoes
1 large carrot
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/3 C nutritional yeast
1/2 C raw cashews (soaked 30-90 min)
1 tsp smoked paprika


Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks.
Cover with salted water and boil until soft. (You will need to keep the water for the sauce recipe).
Add veggies, water, cashews, and all other ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until you get a creamy sauce.

Add to cooked pasta and mix well. Now, feel free to tweak the spices to taste.

*The GoGo Quinoa pasta has more of a neutral flavor that the girls prefer.
**The sauce does not harden in the fridge like some other pre-packaged form of Mac n Ch...
it stays yummy and creamy.
