Mac and cheese from BY Chloe in NYC
We were in NYC on Thursday and I tried this meal for the first time and I was smitten. After an on line search I came up with a healthy version.
Boil these in water till soft
1 baking potato
1 handful of frozen butternut squash (or another potato)
1 carrot
3 cloves garlic
Drain the veggies. Then add to Vitamix.
Add these ingredients and give it a whirl.
1/2 cup non dairy milk
1/2-3/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 lemon squeezed juice
2 TB garlic powder
pinch salt
Pour the sauce over cooked pasta.
2 boxes of lentil pasta (8oz each total of 16 oz)
I tried two brands and we definitely preferred the Tolerant brand- Red Lentil Penne. It was chewy and delicious while the other was much softer and less pasta like.
It's even better the second day!
I added coconut bacon on top.
1cup plus of unsweetened thicker large flake coconut shreds
1 TB coconut aminos (or tamari)
1 tsp or so maple syrup
1/2 tsp or more smoked paprika
a few sprays of liquid smoke
pinch salt
Place in bowl and toss. Next pour into a skillet and toast over medium heat. Place on parchment paper after cooking. it will crispen. (Thank you to Oh She Glows for this coconut bacon recipe. I added the liquid smoke but the recipe is hers!
