Servings: 6
Calories: 457.42kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Raw cashews, soaked
- 1 Block(15oz.) Firm tofu (not extra firm)
- 1 Cup Non dairy milk, I used soy milk
- 1/4 Cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Agave syrup
- 16 oz. Macaroni, regular or gluten free
- 1 Tablespoon Truffle oil, vegan friendly
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Soak the cashews, either in cold water for 8-12 hours or in boiling water for about 30 minutes.
- When ready, drain the cashews and add them to a blender.
- Squeeze as much liquid out of the tofu as you can with your hands over the sink. Then break it up and add that to the blender as well.
- Then add the non-dairy milk, the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, pepper and agave to the blender.
- Blend on high, scrapping down the sides as needed, until the sauce is completely smooth. It may take a few minutes. If you are having a hard time blending, add a splash more milk. Set aside.
- Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and return it to the pot.
- Pour the "cheese" sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings. I usually add more salt and pepper.
- Add the truffle oil and stir to combine. Serve.
