A delicious vegan riff on macaroni and cheese using sweet potatoes, our Savory Turmeric Twist blend, and nutritional yeast in place of cheese. Don't knock this vegan mac and cheese recipe 'til you've tried it!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1" pieces

  • 1/2 teaspoon + 1 pinch Frontier Co-op Sea Salt

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened original (non-vanilla) almond milk + a bit more as needed

  • 10 ounces pasta (any type of smaller pasta like elbow, fusilli, penne, etc.)

  • 1/2 tablespoon Frontier Co-op Black Pepper

  • 3 tablespoons Frontier Co-op Nutritional Yeast Flakes

  • 2 teaspoons Frontier Co-op Turmeric Twist Savory Blend

  • 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op Garlic Powder

Directions

    1. Fill a medium pot 1/2 to 2/3 full of water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Add sweet potato and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash until smooth, adding a splash of almond milk as needed.

    2. While sweet potatoes are cooking, in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat add 1 cup water and pasta. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently to separate pasta. Stir in the 1 1/2 cups almond milk and reduce heat to low. Cook and stir for 10 to 12 minutes, until pasta is tender and most of milk is absorbed. Add more milk if pasta isn't cooked through.

    3. Stir in sweet potato mash, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, turmeric blend and garlic powder. Continue warming over low heat (it helps if the sweet potato is still a bit warm). If sauce is too thick, add more almond milk to desired sauce consistency. Once mixture is hot, remove from heat, and serve.
