Macaroni and cheese is a staple for every child and every household. It’s known by pretty much everybody and a go-to as a feel-good food. Honestly, who hasn’t had Kraft Mac and Cheese at some point? Its totally the best. Maybe not the best for you…. but the best nonetheless.
Vegan Mac and Cheese Ingredients
- Lentil pasta (or pasta of choice)
- Vegan butter
- Sliced onion
- Almond milk
- Vegan gouda cheese
- Vegan cheddar cheese
- Nutritional yeast

I started by cooking one of my fave pastas. It is Yellow Lentil Penne Rigati. If it is overcooked this pasta will break easily so be careful of this. They’re packed with plant-based protein and an excellent source of fiber! You can choose whatever pasta you desire as well!
