Vegan Broccoli Cheddar Mac and Cheese
Who doesn't love mac and cheese?! Growing up, I pretty much lived off of things with cheese like grilled cheese, or mac and cheese. Not that I was picky or anything, but I just loved them so much and would ask my parents if I could have them often. I can still enjoy mac and cheese now as an adult, even if I am vegan, because making vegan mac and cheese that tastes delicious actually isn't difficult at all! I have perfected my own cheese sauce recipe that is to my liking, and it is even good on potatoes if you are not in the mood for pasta.Or even poured over steamed broccoli, like my Grandma used to do.Except she used Cheese Whiz. But I thought it was the greatest thing ever when I was little.
Which got me to thinking, why not just put broccoli in my mac and cheese?! So I made some broccoli mac last week. I had some lentil based fusilli pasta on hand, so it was perfect! I know lentil pasta might sound a little weird, but it is actually quite delicious and tastes pretty much like regular pasta but much higher in protein so it is a complete meal. For my cheese sauce, I use a mostly veggie base.I have seen other people use a combination of potatoes and carrots, and I have tried that one, but it isn't my favorite.I use roasted sweet potatoes for the bulk of my base.
