Broccoli Mac and Cheese
8
Serves
Ingredients
- 360 ml (1½ cup) vegetable stock
- 120 g (1 cup) raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 10 g (1 slice) yellow onion, peeled, about 2 tablespoons
- 454 g frozen broccoli, thawed
- 454 g whole wheat pasta, cooked, drained, warm
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Method
- Place vegetable stock, cashews, miso paste, nutritional yeast, turmeric, yellow onion, and half the broccoli into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 5 minutes 45 seconds, or select the Hot Soups program and allow the machine to complete the programmed cycle.
- Add the remaining broccoli and secure the lid. Select Variable 3 and pulse 4-5 times until the added broccoli is evenly chopped.
- Mix the pre-cooked pasta with the broccoli sauce and black pepper, stirring to incorporate. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Miso and nutritional yeast work together to add a great “cheese” flavor to this dish, without the dairy. Cashews additionally lend a creamy texture to make this sauce coat the pasta well, and boosts it with protein and fiber.
