Main Ingredients

  • 0.45 pounds Elbow macaroni
  • 1.5 cups Raw cashews soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes
  • 1.5 cups Water
  • 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Preparation Steps

  • Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • While the macaroni is cooking, drain the soaked cashews. Add the drained cashews, water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked macaroni. Stir until well combined and the pasta is evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
