I sprinkle nutritional yeast on popcorn, salads, sandwiches, soups, blend a little into hummus and other savory dips. The flavour is often described as cheesy, which makes it a perfect substitute for dairy products in dressing and sauces. The natural colour of nutritional yeast is vibrantly golden. The yeast is sold both as flakes and powder (use half the amount of powder if a recipe calls for flakes). Made from a single-celled organism called, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, the yeast is grown on cane or beet molasses, fermented, then deactivated with heat to stop the growing process. That’s right.Īlthough the name is slightly unappealing, nutritional yeast is a delicious and versatile seasoning to have in your pantry. Although not exactly like the cheese sauce of yore, it is still completely smooth and creamy, rich, unctuous, and deeply satisfying when combined with fat noodles and the most amazing non-breadcrumb-topping made out of sunflower seeds. Instead the delectable sauce is a winning combination of roasted butternut squash and garlic, creamy butter beans, and cheesy nutritional yeast.
#DELUXE MACARONI AND CHEESE RECIPES MAC#
So, what makes this mac ‘n’ tease a tease? It’s vegan! Not one speck of cheese or milk or butter or cream in sight. If you’re anything like me (a human) you’ll love tucking into this tasty meal every week until spring hits.
Until recently this winter, a gnawing hunger for warmth, comfort and nostalgia took hold and just wouldn’t let go. In fear of falling short of that level of awesomeness, I haven’t actually attempted to make mac ‘n’ cheese on my own past the days of high school. Sometimes my mom would toss in a few slices of bell peppers and cocktail wieners and my brother and I felt like kings. Like most kids, I ate a lot of macaroni and cheese growing up, the kind that came in a blue box with the magical, neon orange flavour powder. Or at least, this recipe is here to help. And my heart does go out to all my family and friends freezing their tooshies off stateside. Although I really can’t complain about the balmy temps here in Denmark, it’s dark and damp and I would probably pay a lot of money to see the sun right about now. It comes together in less than 15 minutes and then gets popped into the oven until the bread is toasted and it’s ready to go.I’m over winter, but winter definitely isn’t over. It’s also very simple to make since all you have to do is boil pasta, whisk together butter, flour, milk, and cheese for the cheese sauce, and toss some bread with butter to go on top. This is a fabulous vegetarian meal for two or an easy side for three to four people. The macaroni is super cheesy and creamy, and the toasted bread topping is crisp and crunchy and makes for a perfect combo. It’s my FAVORITE way to eat mac and cheese and soooooooo good. It’s made with cheddar cheese and Parmesan (or Pecorino Romano if you have it–my favorite) and topped with buttery, toasted bread cubes. There is my classic Quick Mac and Cheese for One, which has been super popular, and Bacon Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese, but today’s mac and cheese is the deluxe version. I have a couple Mac and Cheese recipes on the site already.
So I figured it was about time to share one of my favorite comfort foods in the world, Macaroni and Cheese! As I saying in my Bacon and Butternut Squash Side Dish post last week, this time of year, as it starts to get colder, I always start craving comfort food.
I have something warm and cozy for you today. This Deluxe Mac and Cheese for Two is quick and easy to throw together and makes the perfect vegetarian meal for two or side for three or four.
