This creamy avocado mac recipe has finally answered my prayers of discovering a vegan mac and cheese that tastes just as good as “real” mac and cheese. And how could it not turn out to be amazingly delicious, when it includes avocado?!

Avocado’s buttery, creamy texture lends sandwiches and toasts a canvas that can easily be complemented by an array of toppings, but it is also just as delicious alone. Paired with herbs like basil and cilantro that complement its color and bring out its richness, avocado is truly the star of this dish.

INGREDIENTS

• Avocado Sauce
• 1 large ripe avocado, or 2 small ripe avocados
• juice of 1 lemon (or 3 tbsp lemon juice)
• 1 cup basil leaves (loosely packed)
• ¼ cup cilantro
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• 4-6 tbsp nutritional yeast
• ½ cup almond or other non-dairy milk (to thin)
• Pasta and Cream Base
• 8-10 oz. macaroni or elbow pasta (gluten-free optional)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3½ tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp flour (or arrowroot flour for gluten-free)
• 1¼ cup almond or other non-dairy milk

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add ingredients for the avocado sauce to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. If not using a high-speed blender, you may need to pulse a few times. Set avocado sauce aside.
2. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Rinse and drain cooked pasta, and return to pot.
3. While pasta cooks, prepare sauce base. Sauté minced garlic in measured olive oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add in flour and whisk to combine, ensuring no lumps form. Slowly add in almond milk a little at a time and whisk constantly over medium-high heat. The sauce will thicken quickly (over high heat). Once thickened, remove from heat, after about 2 minutes.
4. Pour avocado mixture into sauce base and whisk to combine the two. Taste and add salt or more nutritional yeast if needed. Pour sauce over cooked pasta and stir through to combine. Serve immediately topped with avocado slices for garnish, broiled tomatoes, and your favorite vegan parmesan.
