Calories: 455kcal
Ingredients
- 16 Ounces Pasta, shells or elbow
- 1 1/2 Cups Vegan cheddar style shreds, I used Violife(divided)
- 1 1/2 Cups Vegan Mozzarella style shreds, I used Violife(divided)
- 8 Ounces Vegan cream cheese, I used Tofutti
- 3 Cups Non-dairy milk
- 1/2 Cup Vegan heavy cream, I used Country Crock Plant Cream, or more milk
- 1/3 Cup Water
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Mustard, dry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 1/2 Cups Potato chips, I used ruffles, Crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees(F).
- Take a 13x 9 inch baking dish. Pour the dry pasta into the baking dish.
- Then sprinkle 3/4 cup of vegan cheddar and 3/4 cup of vegan mozzarella over the pasta.
- Scoop the vegan cream cheese on top of the pasta. Then pour in the non-dairy milk, vegan cream, water and all the spices, including a generous few pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper, over the pasta.
- Stir everything as best you can, kind of pressing the cream cheese into the mixture. Then smooth everything out into the baking dish evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- While the pasta bakes, make the topping. In a small bowl, toss together the crushed chips and the spices. Set aside.
- After the pasta has baked for 20 minutes, remove it from the oven. Stir thoroughly. It will be pretty liquidy at this point and all the cheese should have melted. Push the pasta down into the liquid now as best you can.
- Smooth the pasta out evenly. Then top with the remaining 3/4 cup of cheddar and 3/4 cup of mozzarella evenly. Then sprinkle the chip topping evenly over the top as well.
- Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the sauce is thick.
- Let cool for a few minutes, then serve!
