I made this recipe for my daughters boyfriend who’s gluten free and for me who has CKD. I used Bonza Chickpea pasta instead of whole wheat pasta to make it gluten free. I used Cashew milk and had to use twice as much and a little more. I also needed to add an additional 1/8 tsp of salt and family members added a little more to it on their plate. I thought the dish was okay I didn’t taste even a hint of a cheese flavor with using the nutritional yeast. There were others at the table who said it was good.
I found the taste allright but not comparable to Mac ´n Cheese 🙁
I made this today. It is not tasty, it has a very plain taste. I will not make it again.
I made this tonight and I wasn’t a huge fan, my kids thought it was okay. But I think next time I will make it with 1/2 cup onions instead of 1 cup, and 1 cup of plant-based milk instead of 1/2 cup. It was a little too dry and pungent with onions.
Might be the type of onion you are using. Try vidalia
I made this last night and found it to be quite dry. I had it again today for lunch (reheated in a saucepan) and added some oat milk to give it a more creamy texture. It was a bit better. Overall it was “okay”. I’ve had vegan mac and cheese in a restaurant, and it was extremely good, so maybe I was expecting too much. I’m still on the hunt for a good mac and cheese recipe. I doubt that I would make this particular one again though.
Me encantó
Es una delicia!
Made it tonight, the taste could be better. I think next time I’ll add more nutritional yeast, I did put more milk, only had oats. I’ll try it again
Does this reheat well, or is it better fresh?
Husband says, “Honey, it is not Mac & cheese. It is pasta with sweet potatoes sauce!” However, visually it looks right. But that maybe the issue. It does not taste like it looks. It is good and tasty. A pleasant change from FOK basics.
I am so confused! Is this a thumbs up or a thumbs down review? I feel like it’s a thumbs down from your hubby, who is not on board yet with plant-based eating. But it was a thumbs up for you. Is that right? I accept that plant food is not going to taste exactly like animal products — and I get irritated by people who claim otherwise — but I do expect it to taste good.
Love the recipes.
OMG this is delicious! I added GF bread crumbs with herb and garlic seasoning on top before baking. I could literally make this ever day !!!
Made many times and will continue to be a staple. Love this recipe; easy to make and makes a lot of delicious food! Love to mix it with salsa once it’s on the plate.
We’re making this tonight and the video above is a HUGE help – thank you Forks!!!
