The answer to my go-to stress food: Vegan Avocado Macaroni and Cheese.

June 6, 2013 by Ashley Willies

Two of my favorite things have come together to make the best birth-child: Avocado Macaroni and Cheese. I can now have my favorite comfort food during the week while doing my flexitarian vegan-inspired thang! –And here I thought I was going to have to nix this vegan wackiness.

1. Avocado!

2. Cheese. (Cheese over chocolate any day!)

The link to the vegan recipe is here and the normal recipe is here. Check it out below!

 

 

Vegan Avocado Macaroni and Cheese.

Avocado Mac and Cheese

Yield: Serves 4-6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Creamy, cheesy, and easy Avocado Mac and Cheese!
Ingredients:

10 ounces dry elbow macaroni
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 avocados, peeled and pitted
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons Earth Balance butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup non-dairy milk
2 cups Daiya Vegan Pepper Jack cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh avocado chunks, for garnish, if desired

Directions:

1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Salt the water and add in macaroni. Stir and cook until Al Dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. While the pasta is cooking, make the avocado sauce by placing the garlic, avocados, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper into a food processor or blender. Process until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

3. To make the cheese sauce, place butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. When butter is melted, whisk in flour to create a paste. Whisk in milk until smooth. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sauce starts to thicken. Add in Pepper Jack cheese and stir until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.

4. Place macaroni in a large bowl. Pour the avocado sauce over the macaroni and stir until well coated. Add the cheese sauce and stir until macaroni is coated and creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve warm. Garnish with fresh avocado chunks, if desired.

Note-the lime juice keeps the avocado from browning. The mac and cheese is best eaten the first day, but it is still good the second day. The pasta may turn slightly brown, but that is nature.
