Vegan Mac & Cheese

My daughter came to me asking for mac & cheese for lunch.  I had no clue how to make this vegan.  So, I searched the web and found a great (& easy) recipe using Daiya cheese.  It took about 10 minutes to put together - just long enough to boil the noodles.  The taste was great!  This recipe could be altered slightly by changing the cheese flavor, adding hot sauce, and/or vegetables to mix things up.  Enjoy!

You will need:

2 C pasta of your choice, boiled until al dente
1/2 C vegetable broth
1/2 C vegan sour cream
1 C Daiya vegan cheese shreds (I used cheddar, but any of their flavors will work here)
Salt & Pepper to taste

*Optional - a few dashes of hot sauce or some cooked veggies, such as broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, etc.

While pasta is boiling, whisk together broth and sour cream over medium heat until well combined.  Add cheese, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using) and stir until cheese has melted.  Meanwhile, drain the pasta.  Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and stir.  Add cooked veggies now if using and stir to combine.  Enjoy!
