Cook the pasta as directed on the package. Meanwhile, work on the sauce as directed below.

Soak the cashews in hot water. Use just enough water to cover them.

3

Peel the carrot, yam, and potato. Steam them until soft.

4

While veggies are steaming, chop up the 1/2 onion. Put the onion and rest of veggies into a blender.

Next, add the cashew-water mixture, nutritional yeast, coconut water, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, and paprika to the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour in a splash of almond milk if the sauce is too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Mix the vegan cheese sauce into the cooked noodles, and enjoy your vegan mac and cheese! This sauce also works great as a nacho cheese dip.
