Vegan Mac and Cheese 

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:
8 oz cooked gluten-free noodles
1/4 cup vegan butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups Three Trees Original Almond Milk
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (more or less depending on preference)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Tapioca slurry (1/2 tablespoon tapioca starch mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
1/4 cup gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs
 

Directions:
First, mince the garlic and preheat the oven to 400F. Then, cook the noodles.

While the noodles are cooking, add the vegan butter to a pan to melt.

Once melted, add in the minced garlic and saute in the vegan butter for 3-4 minutes until
fragrant.

Next, add the Three Trees Original Almond Milk to the pan, stirring as you add it.

Then, add in the nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, paprika, and Dijon mustard. Stir to mix.

Once mixed, add in the tapioca slurry and mix the sauce together for 1-2 minutes until
thickened. Adding the tapioca slurry will give the vegan cheese a stretchy consistency.

Then, add the cooked gluten-free noodles to the pan and stir together until coated in the
vegan cheese sauce.

Remove the noodles from the heat and add to an 8* 8-inch pan. Then, top with the
gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs.

Add to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the breadcrumbs are lightly toasted.
Then, remove and enjoy!
