Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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!

Notes

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.
