Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce box elbow macaroni
  • 1 stick 8 tablespoons vegan butter, preferably Earth Balance
  • 1 cup chopped green onions white and green parts
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 to 4½ cups pea milk preferably Ripple
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 7-ounce packs sliced vegan cheddar, preferably Daiya cheddar-style slices, coarsely chopped
  • 1 7-ounce bag vegan cheddar shreds, preferably Daiya cheddar-style shreds

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook the macaroni in the boiling salted water according to the package instructions, until soft. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Melt the vegan butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the green onions and garlic and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook until flour is slightly toasted with a slightly nutty aroma, stirring with a whisk, about 3 minutes.
  • While whisking, pour in 4 cups of the pea milk and continue to stir until the sauce is thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes. Make sure to run the whisk along the edges of the pot to get all of the flour.
  • Turn the heat down to low and add the salt, vegan chopped cheddar, and vegan cheddar shreds. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the shredded cheese is melted. If the sauce is lumpy, add an additional ½ cup of pea milk and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the cooked macaroni and stir well to coat.
  • Pour the mixture into the greased baking pan. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly.
  • Let it cool for a few minutes and serve hot.
