I made the recipe because I can’t eat cheese for a period. Out of curiosity I had made some cheese sauces from vegan sites before, and they were always a disappointment as well as containing a unholy amount of flavorings to make up for the plain taste. So I had decided to give up on vegan cheese sauces forever. But since I had to forego dairy and trusting Manjula’s abilities, I gave this recipe a go. I’m glad I did because the sauce is simple, easily digestible and tastes cheesy enough; the only thing is, it is better to have a powerful blender because with mine I still got some cashew grains in there. I will definitely do it again, maybe adding some flavorless coconut oil in place of some of the water because cheddar-like cheese is fatter than this sauce. So thank you again Manjula, Didina
Didina, thank you I appreciate your comment
Manjula ji, Thank u for this interesting recipe. But my kid is allergic to nuts .what would be a good substitute for cashews?
Gnana, try this recipe, I have used many times and taste good Potato and Carrot Vegan Cheese Ingredients • 2 C. potatoes, diced large • 1 C. carrots, diced large • 1/2 C. water • 1/3 C. olive oil • 2 tsp. salt • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best!) • 1/2 C. nutritional yeast flakes • dash of cayenne (opt.) Instructions 1. Boil the potatoes and carrots until soft. 2. Blend potatoes and carrots together along with the rest of the ingredients on high in blender until the cheese is extremely smooth. I use my high-powered VitaMix blender. 3. Store in refrigerator for up to a week.
Hi Mam, Can we put something in replace of yeast?
Archna, so far I have not found the substitute for yeast
i love pasta. The way you make this delicious pasta is just awesome. Will definitely try.
Namaste Manjulaji You are always my fav. But I have a question – macaroni is not vegan as I believe it is made of egg. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Sree, Macaroni is vegan
Nimaste, Manjula. Two days ago I made this recipe and while it is good the first day, the second day it is GREAT. It tastes almost like the real thing. Thank you for a really nice recipe. Rena
Yum, I’m always open to a new mac&cheese recipe! Will sure try this one too, thanks for sharing!
Manjula , you are so cute and I love your recipes, However this dish should have a different name as there is no cheese in the recipe. It is quite misleading.
How I should it misleading? It says vegan. Vegans don’t eat cheese.
Kay, vegan cheese
