Smoked Gouda Mac And Cheese

Ingredients:

500g macaroni, cooked

2 cups Natura Soy Milk

1 cup vegan gouda cheese, shredded

1/2 cup nutritional yeast

2 tbsp vegan butter

1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp yellow mustard

1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke

For the Coating:

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp chili flakes

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions:

1. In a large sauce pot over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Once melted, add in the flour and whisk until you have a smooth roux.
2. Gradually pour in one cup of Natura Soy Milk, continuing to whisk. Mix in the nutritional yeast, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and liquid smoke, whisking until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Add in the vegan gouda cheese and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is completely melted. Then, gradually pour in the remaining cup of Natura Soy Milk.
4. Add in the cooked macaroni, stirring until all the pieces are evenly coated.
5. Transfer the macaroni mixture to a baking dish (suggest size). In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the mac and cheese. Drizzle with olive oil.
6. Broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve hot. Optionally, suggest a garnish or side dish.
