Pasta noodles smothered in a gooey, decadent, comforting and rich coconut milk-based "cheese" sauce.
Prep Time 2 minutes mins
Cook Time 8 minutes mins
Total Time 10 minutes mins
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces macaroni noodles
- 1 can coconut milk
- ¼ cup nooch
- ¾ tsp turmeric
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp garlic
- ¼ tsp white miso paste (optional)
- ¼ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ cup veggie broth or water (or sub water)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- salt/pepper to taste
Begin cooking noodles.
While the noodles are cooking, add the coconut milk, nooch, miso paste and spices to a saucepan over medium heat and whisk to combine.
Mix tapioca flour and veggie broth together in a small bowl with a fork.
Once the coconut milk mixture comes to a slight boil, slowly whisk in the tapioca flour/broth mixture. The mixture should become very sticky and thick.
Add lemon juice, whisk to combine once again and then remove the pot from the heat.
Drain the cooked noodles and pour the cheese sauce in, mixing to combine.
Enjoy!
If you would like a lighter option, or simply don't have coconut milk, fear not! Feel free to use any other plant-based milk of choice, but keep in mind that the outcome may not be quite as rich and creamy.
