No Cheese Mac & Cheese

No Cheese-Cheese Sauce for Pasta

Ingredients:

2 cups vegetable broth

Pinch of ground pepper

¼ cup flour

¼ tsp turmeric

1Tbsp olive oil

¼ cup nutritional yeast

3 cloves garlic

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Pinch of dried thyme

1tsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp salt

 Instructions

Combine the broth and flour and whisk with a fork. Few lumps are ok.

Place the oil and garlic in large enough saucepan to later on contain all the ingredients and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir often not to burn.

Add the thyme, salt and pepper and cook for 15 seconds.

Add the broth, turmeric, and nutritional yeast and raise the heat to medium. Use a whisk to stir constantly. The mixture should start to bubble and thicken. Once it bubbles stir for 2 approximately 2 more minutes.

Add the lemon and mustard. The mixture should resemble a thick melty cheese. Taste for salt and turn the heat off.

Cover the pan to keep it warm and ready to use. The top might thicken but just stir and it will be fine. Serve warm with the pasta of your choice. Gives about 2 cups.
