Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 Pound(16oz.) Vegan beef, I used Beyond Beef
  • 4 Cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegan butter, I used Earth Balance
  • 2 Tablespoons All purpose flour
  • 3 Cups Vegetable broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 2 Cups Pasta, shells or elbow macaroni
  • 1/2 Cup Vegan heavy cream or non-dairy milk, I used Silk whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 Cups Vegan cheddar style shreds, I used Violife
  • 8 Ounces Frozen broccoli, thawed and drained
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil on medium high in a large non-stick pot.
  • Add the vegan beef and the garlic. Break the "beef" up with a wooden spoon, then sauté, reducing heat as needed, until the "beef" is brown. About 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove the "beef" and garlic from the pot and put it in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Add the vegan butter to the pot and heat on medium. Once the butter has melted, add the flour. Whisk to combine and make a roux. Let the roux simmer for a minute.
  • Add the vegetable broth, tomato paste, salt and garlic powder. Whisk to combine, making sure there are no lumps of roux left.
  • Bring to a simmer, then add the pasta and stir, making sure the pasta is as submerged as possible.
  • Let the pasta simmer, until it is cooked through and the liquid has mostly been absorbed. About 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Once the pasta is al dente, add in the vegan cream or milk and the vegan cheddar.
  • Stir and let the cheddar melt.
  • Then add in the broccoli and stir to combine. Let the broccoli heat up for a few minutes.
  • Now add the "beef" and the garlic back to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve immediately.
