Comforting recipe for chilly fall days that everybody will love: gluten-free and vegan Mac and cheese to which, we add a special ingredient, pumpkin. It’s the time of the year to use it :). It tastes good and it gives the color of traditional Mac and cheese, so kids won't even notice. Plus, it's packed with vitamin A and antioxidants!
Herbamare® Original is made from sea salt and 12 different fresh organically grown vegetables, garden herbs and iodine rich kelp. It is a delicious accompaniment to any meal.
1. In a big pot of boiling water, cook pasta per the instructions on the box.
2. In a pan, over medium heat, add butter and let melt before adding the flour. We want to make a roux (kind of like a paste, this will help thicken the sauce). With a spatula or whisk, mix these two ingredients together. Once well combined, add minced garlic, tomato paste, pumpkin puree, nutritional yeast, Herbamare Original and pepper. Mix well with a whisk to remove clumps.
3. Then add maple syrup, milk and cheddar cheese. Whisk again and cook for another 3 min before adding lemon juice.
4. Once well combined, remove from heat and add cooked pasta to the sauce.
5. Sprinkle some more Herbamare on top with some chopped fresh herbs and/or minced green onion.
6. Enjoy!
