Gluten Free Dairy Free Mac N Cheese

If you know anything about me, you know that I’m a sucker for mac-n-cheese.

A deliciously dairy-free vegan take on a classic, comforting favorite. This plant-based recipe for Creamy Macaroni & Cheese is made with Daiya Cheddar Style Shreds. It’s topped with gluten-free breadcrumbs, vegan parmesan cheese and paprika. It takes just 10 minutes to prep and 15 minutes to cook.

It’s hands-down my favorite dinner ever, next to pizza anyway (I know, i don’t have the most sophisticated palette, but it is the yummiest. ;)).

Recently I was inspired to create a baked gluten-free, dairy-free mac and it.was.beyond.delicious. I think beyond delicious is technically what we would call epic, but don’t quote me on that.

And now…

Take your mac game to the next level with this recipe – and be sure to repbesort back!

  • 1 bag of Tinkyada Pasta Joy, organic brown rice pasta (it’s soooo delish)
  • 2 blocks of Daiya Jalapeno Havarti cheese (do not use pre-shredded cheese for this – it doesn’t melt the same), then grate the cheese into a delicious heaping pile 🙂
  • 1/2 c raw mild cheddar goat cheese – optional, not required, just gives the flavor some depth, grate as well
  • 1 c organic salted butter or vegan butter like Miyoko’s
  • 1/2 cup Milkadamia unsweetened milk
  • Organic olive oil
  • 4 pieces of brown rice bread, toasted and cubed

  2. Stir in the mustard and nutritional yeast flakes, grate and stir in the vegan cheese (if using), then season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain and add the macaroni to the sauce, then toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof baking dish (roughly 20cm x 30cm), then set aside.

Step three: In a small saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter, once melted, add in milk and once well stirred, add in 1.5 blocks of the cheese and 1/4 c of the raw goat cheese (if using). Turn to low and stir often until melted.

Step four: Pour the cheese sauce mixture over the pasta, stir well to make sure the pasta is thoroughly covered.

Step five: Pour half of the pasta cheese mixture into the glass pan. Then sprinkle over the top of this 1/2 of the remaining cheese.

Step six: Pour the remaining pasta cheese mixture on top of this. Sprinkle more cheese over this, then add bread crumbs. Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top.
