Super Nutritious & Delicious

Ultimate Vegan Mac & Cheese




1 cup sweet potatoes, chopped
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup carrots, chopped

For the cashew cream:

1 cup raw cashews (soaked** for 8 hours prior )
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk 
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Other ingredients:

1 pound whole wheat pasta, your choice of shape
1 head of broccoli, de-stemmed and chopped
2 cups of spinach

Cut up the potatoes, carrots, and onion. 
Place in a skillet with a tablespoon of water and cover and cook for 15 minutes, check occasional to see if you need to add more water to 
prevent burning.
Cook the pasta, rinse with cold water and set aside.
Drain cashews and Place the raw cashews in a  food processor with a couple tablespoons of water until nearly smooth.

Add the rest of the ingredients for the cashew cream and the contents of the skillet and blend till creamy and smooth, ( using a high powered blender makes a big difference in texture) adding more
coconut milk if needed to thin out.
Add this mixture to the cooked noodles and then add the broccoli and spinach and stir till well combined.
Bake at 375 for 40 minutes
