Cook

If you have an Instant Pot, put the raw potato, onion, carrots, red pepper garlic and cashews inside with 2 cups water. Cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow the steam to release.

Boil

You can also put it all in a pot over the stove and cook covered for about 20 – 25 minutes.

When done, put the garlic and cashews into a blender.

Measure

Measure/weigh out the potato, onion, carrots and red pepper that is needed and put them in the blender.

Add the rest of the ingredients, including the ½ cup reserved liquid from cooking the veggies, and blend on high until creamy and smooth.

Serve!

Serve! It thickens as it cools, and gets nice and thick in the fridge. It will thin out a bit once you warm it up again. You can put it in a pot and warm it up on the stove right after you make it to thicken it as well.

This vegan white cheese sauce has an amazing sharp flavor and perfect for those that love a lot of flavor. Plus, it&#039;s easy and healthy!

Your favorite pasta if making Mac and Cheese

Roast

Roast the garlic by peeling and wrapping it in tin foil with a splash of veggie broth. Roast at 400 F (205 C), in a regular or toaster oven, while you cook the veggies.

Place

Put potatoes (peel if you don't want specks of skin), yellow pepper, carrots, onion and cashews in a pot and cover with water. If you don't have a high speed blender and are grinding the cashews, then don't boil but grind them dry and place them in the blender.

Cook over high heat until water boils, about 15 minutes if uncovered. Turn heat to medium and boil another 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

Drain

When done, drain water (keeping some to thin out sauce if prefer a thinner sauce), separate veggies and put the cashews in the blender. I use a fork to fish out the veggies, then drain the cashews over a pasta strainer.

Measure out the needed amount of each veggie and place each in the blender.&nbsp;Add the rest of the ingredients.

Blend on high until you get a creamy gooey consistency. If you have a tamper tool use it to help mix the sauce as it blends. If you don’t have one, then you will need to stop and push down the ingredients every once in a while.

Adjust

Taste and adjust ground mustard seed for a sharper flavor if desired.

Thin out

If you want to thin it out, add some of the reserved cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time until you get the desired consistency. Use it while it's nice and hot!

Cook your pasta according to package directions.

Reserve

Drain pasta reserving about 1 cup pasta water in case you want your mac and cheese a little thinner.

Add the pasta back into the pot and add desired amount of cheese sauce. Mix well. Try and add a touch more salt if needed.

Serve

Then add pasta water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well in between additions, until you get the desired consistency for your Mac and Cheese. If your pasta is too starchy (as some gluten free pastas are) you can also use regular water or even non dairy milk to do this. Add salt if needed, it most likely will since the sauce is no longer as concentrated. Devour!
