One-Pot Broccoli Mac and Cheese

Servings 4

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Strainer
  • Whisk
  • Spoonula or wooden spoon

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Elbow macaroni
  • 4 cups Broccoli florets fresh, not frozen
  • ¼ cup Vegan butter
  • ¼ cup All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Nutritional yeast flakes
  • 2 Tbs White miso paste
  • 2 Tbs Spicy brown mustard
  • 1 cup Neutral flavored non-dairy milk
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbs White wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions, but reduce the "al dente" cooking time by 1 minute.
  • Chop the broccoli into smaller pieces if needed. Add the broccoli to the pasta for the final 4 minutes of the cook time.
  • Strain the pasta and broccoli and set aside.
  • Melt the butter over medium-low heat in the same saucepan used to cook the pasta. Sprinkle in the flour and allow to cook for about 3 minutes until slightly golden.
  • Add the nutritional yeast, miso paste, and spicy brown mustard. Whisk to combine with the roux.
  • Add the milk. Add only about ¼ cup at first, whisking to combine with the roux. This should create a thick paste. Continue adding the milk in ¼ cup increments, whisking each time.
  • Turn the heat up to medium-high. Whisk the sauce as it thickens. Continue until you can see the ribbon pattern remaining as you whisk.
  • Add the white wine vinegar and whisk to combine.
  • Return the pasta and broccoli to the pot. Stir to coat in the sauce.
